A great day today, speaking at the Gateshead Raising Achievement event at Seven Stories.  The theme of my talk was how I inspire children – and especially boys – to read.  So, I took along my Scream Street relics, read a section from SS2: Blood of the Witch, ran a mini-workshop and even performed a little magic!

I also signed some books alongside the very talented Mick and Brita, who were there to talk about their own books – and it was in the bookshop I spotted this rather lovely display:

I’ll be back at Seven Stories next Friday for the official Scream Street launch.  Join me – if you dare…
