She discussed her interests in different topics, introduced characters and shared different things about her books. She described the <em>Nevermoor<\/em> series as a <em>\u2018kitchen sink novel\u2019<\/em> where she can express freedom and creativity. Themes were a main focus and we were encouraged to brainstorm ideas for something we could write.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, it was a very exciting experience for an author to come talk to us, and I am sure that everyone agrees when I say that it was an inspiring moment in our lives. Many thanks to the Library Staff who organised the talk and I hope that we will have opportunities to experience this again!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><br \/>\n\u00a0\u2013 Irene Botros<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nYear 6 Student<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-40057 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2025\/05\/IMG_5583.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2025\/05\/IMG_5583-480x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<figure class='gallery-item link-'>\n<div class='gallery-icon'>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2025\/05\/IMG_5582.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightcase:1:slideshow\" title=\"\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2025\/05\/IMG_5582-480x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class='gallery-item__overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center'><span class='fal fa-plus fa-2x'><\/span><\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 27 May,\u00a0Jessica Townsend visited Year 6, in the library, to speak about her debut novel, Nevermoor, and the books that followed.
