S2 and S3 pupils visited the fabulous Edinburgh Book Festival to hear Keren David and Alex Wheatle talk about the characters in their books, how they became writers and what inspires them to create exciting stories.

Not only were the talks interesting, but the sun shone and the ice cream was delicious!

Here are some views from our pupils:

‘I thought that the book festival was very good this year.’

’I really liked Alex Wheatle. He gave us a lot of information about what his life has been like and what the book was about. He was quite funny.’

‘Can’t wait to come back next year.’
