Key stage 3 students enjoyed a visit to Derby Literature Festival this week.
Derby Book Festival invited the author JP Rose to talk about her job as an author and how she became a writer to the event. JP Rose was a runner up in the 2024 DSBA, for her book, 'The Haunting of Tyrese Walker' and she has a new book, 'Birdie' out in October.
They were impeccably behaved and so engaged in the talks, asking insightful questions.
