Award-winning children's author visits Hutchesons'
Award-winning children's author Theresa Breslin visited Hutchesons' on 3 November to talk to P5 and S1 pupils.
She spoke about the inspiration for her novels, how she creates her characters and stories and her reliance on research and facts. Her many books include the Dream Master series, Divided City and Remembrance, a historical novel centred on the First World War.
Theresa read excerpts from some of her books and fielded what Librarian Jane Bulloch described as 'an impressive series of questions' from our young readers before signing books for them!
Theresa Breslin's books have been translated in many languages including Mandarin and Dutch. The pupils enjoyed looking at foreign covers.
