Author Visit
S1 pupils enjoyed a visit from local scientist, turned author, D M Simons who talked to them about her first published novel Keep Her Safe, explaining the ideas behind the plot and how she came up with her characters.
The book is a fast-paced thriller about a group of teenagers who come across a strange human-like creature and touches on the ethics of genetic engineering. We have a copy in the Library for pupils to borrow.

Caroline Clough visit
S1 pupils enjoyed a visit from local author, Caroline Clough, yesterday. She gave a fascinating talk, telling us how she came up with the ideas behind her book Red Fever which is set in the Aberdeen area at a time when the city is overrun by wild dogs, a terrible virus having wiped out much of the human population. She also gave us a sneak preview of the cover of her follow up book which comes out in May 2012.
