Caroline with interested pupils

Caroline entertained the Junior girls with a lively and interesting slide show, and explained the context of her books. Caroline loves art history, ancient languages and travel; these are the inspirations for her writing. She demonstrated how these themes run thorough her books.

Caroline then spent time working with Years 5 and 6 to improve their creative writing skills. She explained the seven essential elements of plot structure, as recommended by Holywood directors!

The Junior girls were able to buy copies of the books and to have these signed by Caroline.
