The children agreed that it was packed full of descriptions and put it down as, a \u00a0<strong>must read. \u00a0<\/strong>A highlight of the visit was \u00a0the opportunity to get creative and pencil the start of their very own novel. \u00a0Feedback from the children was very positive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">&#8220;That was a great morning. I\u00a0definitely want to read her trilogy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">&#8220;I was surprised that I could write so much, in just nine minutes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:
