There was never a book launch (for me anyway) so easily organised as the one for The Ancient Secret Of Cloven hill. Thanks to the stout efforts of Cook- Frances of Anderson School, juice and the promised jammy pieces were there for the guests and of course the Class 4 pupils and teachers who made the book what it is. Overseeing proceedings were head teacher Maureen Mooney and her deputy Sara Neil.
The school hall, described in my last blog, has now lost its history of hot sandshoes and sweaty endeavour. The hall was warm and welcoming with the kids' original book illustrations jazzing up the walls.
As they took a bow or waved to the audience when their co-author names were called out, each kid shone in their own particular right. I've been inspired by their sparkle, imagination, mischief and talent.
Book sales are on their way to £1000 and Marlyn's off to Uganda. As well as The Ancient Secret---she's taken a load of other books given by the school. We await her return for further development news of Bunono School with keen interest- the story goes on.............
