If anyone knows how to launch an event, it’s Julian at Waterstones Croydon. He organised a fantastic fortnight of World Book Day school visits, which I was fortunate enough to be a part of today.

With around 360 pupils and their teachers visiting the store between 9.30am and 2.30pm, it was non-stop bookish fun all day long!

Thank you, Julian, for inviting me to join in with the celebrations.

Thank you to all the teachers for bringing your classes along.

And huge thanks to all the pupils for your fabulous questions.

Don’t forget, one of you has a chance of winning my dragon prize. Just get your teacher or parent to send your book cover design to me here at wordsofwarning.com before the end of the month, and I’ll contact the winner on April 1st.
