I’ve been lucky to not just be able to celebrate World Book Day, but I’ve been out and about for a busy World Book Month!

It’s been my busiest year and I’ve almost lost count of all the schools and libraries that I’ve visited during this time. It’s a huge honour to get to do what I do. I’ve been able to talk (and sometimes shout) about my silly story and had so much fun. It’s been an absolute pleasure meeting so many keen readers and book fans – and chocoholics too!

I must admit, there were a few times when I didn’t think my voice was going to make it! Strepsils have been my saviours!

Thank you to everyone that has made me feel so welcome in your halls and classrooms. And to everyone who has shouted, ‘Chocopocalypse!!!’. And many thanks to Authors Aloud, who have been so brilliant at helping me organise all these amazing events.

I’m a tired, but extremely happy author. I hope everyone keeps on reading and having fun all year round!

Thanks to Arthur Bugler Primary for this wonderful photo.
