Boys at Papplewick School, Ascot, were entertained on the evening of Thursday, 10th November by the author Sarah Baker who talked to them about her career - how she started by working in film as a story editor and then decided to write a children's novel. Her debut book is called: "Through the Mirror Door.” It tells the story of Angela when she visits her Aunt Cece and Cousins Kitty and Fliss at their French holiday home.
There was silence as Sarah read an excerpt from the book and the boys then met Sarah who signed a book for them. The boys were seen around the school the following day with their noses in their books as they read about Angela's adventures.
Tom Bunbury, headmaster, said: “We’re always delighted to welcome authors to Papplewick School. Meeting the writers face-to-face inspires the boys to read more and to appreciate the work that goes into writing a good story.”
