Edinburgh Book Festival

Edinburgh Book 2016S2 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!Edinburgh Book 2016 2

Here are some views from our pupils:

‘Can’t wait to come back next year.’
