Author Event with Karen McCombie
Tuesday 24th May 2005

We were delighted to be working with Walker Books for this event. Karen spoke to Yrs 4 & 5 about her books and what inspired her, she also read from her latest titles. After answering the children's many questions Karen signed copies of her books
Karen is the author of the best-selling Ally's World series, as well as the Stella Etc. books, Marshmallow Magic and the Wild Rose Rouge. Karen has a major new series of books this year about 10 year old Indie Kidd, aimed at 8 year olds and over. How to be Good (ish), is the first in the series, followed by Oops, I Lost My Best (est) Friends. Karen loves writing and her fattest cat, Bysshe, loves to watch her whilst she writes. The only problem is, he likes to get right up close, and often the keyboard disappears under folds of ginger fur, as Bysshe settles himself down for a purr and a stare.
