Y9 Teen Read

Another highly successful Teen Read Trip! The author was GREAT!!! And our students seemed to really relate to him. Their behaviour was also exemplary and we were even treated to a special tour of the school library, which they all enjoyed. Thank you so much for making trips like this happen. They are greatly inspiring for this group and they are actually READING!!! 

Student feedback below and author pic below that. 

Izabella: I loved this Teen Read trip - John Silver [the author we met] was amazing and truly inspirational. He persuaded me, with seemingly no effort, to buy BOTH of his books because they just sounded excellent.  I had them signed and the two books I bought were called Happy Head and Dead Happy, and I haven't even started reading them, yet I already want another book by the author called Trauma Land. I would definitely tell people to at least research these books a bit to see what they are about, and if it's your thing, then you should definitely try them!

Venshin: The Teen Read trip to Isleworth and Syon School was great. The teachers were nice and friendly. The author we met was kind and funny, not to mention relatable. The experience was great and eye-opening. I am excited to read the book by the author and hope to go on more trips soon.

Shazil: The trip was very fun and interesting. The author was very kind and his books were very traumatic. I liked this trip.

Aidan Kelly: The trip was interesting and cool. The author was kind and kind of funny!

Jasmine: It was very enjoyable. I found the book quite interesting and to find out what he went through in life and how he didn't let that stop his creativity and how he kept his book despite others telling him he should change the plot and character. So, overall, it was good, and I would like to go again if I get the chance.

Kacper: This school trip was very interesting with a lot of information about the books and why the author specifically chose those genres of books.

Snehdeep: It was really enjoyable and the books for the show were interesting. The author was nice and the presentation was good.
