Pupils enjoy author’s entertaining visit
Her most recent publication, Super Loud Sam, had been read to the children in anticipation of her visit. The children were excited to learn how Jo came up with her ideas about Sam, how she made the story flow and what made writing fun for her.
They asked lots of questions about Sam as being the best (and loudest) superhero was very appealing.Her visit was inspirational as many children were keen to take her clear, simplistic route into writing superhero stories themselves.
