We welcomed Pegasus and Valkyrie author, Kate O’Hearn and Secret Breakers and River of Ink author, Helen Dennis to Hazlegrove on Thursday 17 November for a whistle-stop evening of Greek and Norse myths,  code-breaking and thrilling adventure. The evening absolutely whizzed by charged with the energy of Kate and Helen. We all had a lovely time listening to anecdotes and tying to work out codes.

Some quotes from the children:

• Alexina – "It was interesting to find out how to actually crack the codes."
• Freddie – "I liked the way Kate got her ideas for stories from eBay!"
• James – "It was great to meet the authors of some of my favourite books."
• Archie – "The code-breaking was fun it was really nice to meet Kate and Helen."
• Amelia – "These are my favourite books and to meet Helen and Kate was awesome. I still can’t quite believe I met them!"

And a quote from Helen Dennis after the event... “We had such a lovely time with you all. The pupils were wonderful and it is great to hear they enjoyed it!”
