On Friday 6 September, our Year 7 students had the opportunity to meet Deborah Abela, who is the author of their English text Grimsdon. Deborah thoroughly engaged the students with anecdotes about her life, explanations of the writing process and useful tips for their own writing. This was a unique opportunity for the students to be able to ask the author all those questions they had become curious about while they were reading her novel.
After the formal session, some students were able to have their copy of Grimsdom autographed and to share their thoughts on the novel with Deborah. We know that her sessions were successful as there has been a queue of students in the McAuley Library to borrow her other novels.
