Katie in Scotland – published TODAY!

Posted on 5 May 2011 · 6 Comments


In advance of the AUTHORS LIVE EVENT in Glasgow, now just a nail-biting week away, the latest Katie book, number 11 in the series, is published today! KATIE IN SCOTLAND is a celebration of the things I love about Scotland, with Katie, her brother Jack and – for once – even Grandma having the holiday of a lifetime when Scotland’s most elusive citizen reveals herself and joins them on their travels. It shouldn’t be too hard to guess who that is – here she is in the picture. You can see she’s very pleased to have her own copy of the book to read!

There’s still time to register for the live internet session next week. So if you are a school or an individual in the UK follow the links here and join in the fun as I tell stories, paint upside down pictures and celebrate stories and art!

    Lovely, don’t know if I can join up for the session as we are in the “dreaded” Sats week.
    However will pass the details onto a colleague I know will be interested.

    You might like to know that one of Katies books was being read by a small girl on tv last night; she was in hospital for major surgery and was taking her mind off it with your book.

    Oh shame about the SATS – I remember that with my son last year: He had tests fell on his birthday and he was very cross about it! Thank you for your kind interest though and for passing the info along.

    Touching to hear about the little girl in hopsital as well. I hope she alright; I am imagining all sorts of stories about her. And I hope Katie distracted her for a few minutes at least!

    She looked like she was thoroughly enjoying her reading. It was part of the (fascinating) program about the pioneers of maxillfacial surgery at the John Radcliffe in Oxford. These most inspiring, brave men give children the chance of a quality life. I know this as we teach one of their patients at my school. He is an amazing child and their expertise has meant he has been able to be part of mainstream school.
