The amazing Dave Cousins visited BODA on 14 May and all S1 pupils got the chance to hear him talk about his books and how he became a writer. It took him 7 years to get his first book, 15 days Without a Head, published. His second book Waiting  for Gonzo has just won the 2014 Grampian Children’s Book Award. Miss Taylor’s S2 class were at the Award Cermony and saw Dave being presented with his prize.
