AUTHOR VISIT to HRS

Award-winning children’s author, Tia Fisher, visited us on Wednesday 21st January to give a talk to our Year 9 students about her debut novel, ‘Crossing the Line’ and her second novel, ‘Not Going to Plan’.  Students were treated to book readings and the true story which inspired 'Crossing the Line'. It was a pleasure to see the students listening with rapt attention to her passionate discussion of the dangers of criminal gangs and county lines. Tia’s talk was engaging and thought-provoking and the students threw themselves into the discussion, responding with curiosity and maturity. They were eager to ask questions at the end, and one student won a signed copy of 'Crossing the Line' for his insightful question.
