Year 7 students had the pleasure of listening to visiting author Deborah Abela on Monday 16 July. Deborah is the author of the Year 7 English novel Grimsdon, which is the text that students will be studying this term.
Deborah is an Australian author of children's books, most notably the Max Remy Super Spy series, Grimsdon and Teresa: A New Australian. She has been writing for 15 years and has published 25 books to date.
Deborah was invited to speak with all MLMC Year 7s on the first day of term to get them excited and enthused about reading, writing and all things Grimsdon! Deborah's engaging presentation included information about her journey into writing, the background to her writing Grimsdon and also her plans for writing the final book in the Grimsdon series.
The presentation ended with students asking questions about writing and Grimsdon, which were enthusiastically answered by Deborah.
