Virtual Author Visit:

Year 5 and 6 attended a virtual author Q and A with award winning author Nadia Shireen this week, hosted by Reading Rocks!

Nadia is the author of the "Grimwood" series, starring fox cub siblings Ted and Nancy! She talked about her series of books, answering questions about the three books in the collection so far and the animals' adventures in countryside setting "Grimwood," where not all is as it seems...

Nadia also discussed her journey of becoming a writer, her creation and editing processes and the inspiration behind her ideas! She then talked about the next installment of the Grimwood series, "Party Animals", where Sharon the Party Crow loses her mojo! You can read the blurb from the book below:

"Three parties in one day have proved too much for Grimwood’s favourite raving resident, and now it’s up to Ted, Nancy, Willow, and the rest of the gang to help Sharon get her groove back. Teamwork, friendship and, most importantly, dance skills, will all be put to the test as the gang try to get the party started again!  Fully illustrated throughout and full of heart, laughs and surprises, this is the must-read fourth title in the bestselling and fantastically anarchic Grimwood series."

We will be certain to purchase some of the books from the series with our book fair commission! It was such an exciting and inspiring event, thank you Nadia!

We always enjoy hearing from authors at Sinclair, who inspire us to try new books to read for pleasure and to pick up our pens to try our own hands at writing for enjoyment! Attached is a pack of resources linked to the book, for all of our pupils to enjoy at home, which you can download here.
