BIG DAY!

Today we're very excited to welcome Marcus Sedgwick to the library to attend our Carnegie meeting!  He'll be joining us for lunch and talking about his shortlisted novel, White Crow, and hopefully giving us an insight into his work as a writer.  This is such a wonderful opportunity for our readers to ask all of their burning questions.  In honour of his visit, Molly, Louise, Elle, Eleanor, Imogen, and Delphine have been baking and we have the most wonderful array of themed and delicious looking cakes!  Photos to follow, but suffice it to say that there is an ENTIRE TABLE COVERED IN CAKE.

Today also marks the unveiling of some great projects.

First up is William's animated trailer for White Crow:

Sorry, I have to put in the link as for some reason the video is refusing to embed.

There's also this stunning acted version, put together by several of the Year 8s.  Love it!  Watch to the end for outtakes... ;)

I've been so impressed with the amount of effort and skill that you've all put into these (and the cakes).  Thank you all so much!  Your prize is an author...  ;)

I'd also like to say a big giant thank you to Marcus for coming to visit us today, we're all really looking forward to it.
