Julia Golding and 600 children

Successful children's author Julia Golding will be guest of Our Lady’s Abingdon on 9 February. During the day around 600 local children will hear her talk about her books and where she finds her ideas.

This event, jointly organised by the Librarians from Our Lady’s Abingdon, Abingdon and St Helen & St Katharine schools, aims to invite children from local primary and secondary schools who may not have the opportunity to meet an author. Children will hear one of the writer's three talks during this 6th annual Joint Schools' Author Visit.

In the morning Julia will 'be' Joss Stirling – her pen name for a teen title that she has recently published called Finding Sky, a paranormal romance and thrilling adventure story, and will also be talking about her book Wolf Cry. In the afternoon session Julia will talk to our younger guests about writing fantasy focussing on Glass Swallow and also mentioning The Ship Between the Worlds and Dragonfly.
Local book shop Mostly Books will be running a a book shop all day.
