CLPE Book Launch with Scholastic for Lisa Thompson and Helen Rutter
OUT
Join CLPE and Scholastic for a very special joint book launch with authors Lisa Thompson and Helen Rutter.
“A read-in-one-sitting, packed-with-twists mystery”, and “a book packed with laugh-out-loud lines and heart-breaking lessons handled with a light touch” – our first online Book Launch of 2022 is a double bill of big-hearted stories and critically acclaimed authors. To celebrate the release of their new novels ‘The Rollercoaster Boy’ and ‘The Boy Whose Wishes Came True’, both published by Scholastic, we are excited to be joined by Lisa Thompson and Helen Rutter for an evening of conversation.
CLPE’s Librarian Phoebe Demeger will introduce Lisa and Helen and their new books, and lead a Q&A session with the authors. There will be an opportunity to ask your own questions, and hear directly from the authors as they undertake a reading from their books.
We have partnered with Peters to offer an exclusive discount on these books. Head to Peters to get 30% off now!
