Book launch

Oxford-based children's authors M.G. Harris and Sally Nicholls launched their latest books at Blackwells bookshop this evening.
Gemini Force I: Black Horizon is the first of three books, based on an idea by Thunderbirds creator Gerry Anderson, written by M.G. Harris - exciting tales of adventure and action for the 21st century.
In Sally Nicholl's An Island of Our Own, three children search for family jewellery left to them. A contemporary adventure story with themes of family and friendship, where the 19-year-old older brother is guardian of his younger siblings.

A great treat to hear both authors read extracts from their own books, plus meet a host of other authors present, name dropping Korky Paul, Carnegie shortlisted author Frances Hardinge, OLA's own Jo Cotterill, Susie Day, Dennis Hamley ...


... and oh yes, there was cake too!
