Teresa Flavin - Author Visit

Review from James:

On Tuesday 6th March, Teresa Flavin came to speak to us about her books, The Blackhope Enigma and The Crimson Shard, her novels are about a pair of children who find a labyrinth that leads to a painting, you can then enter that painting by saying the secret word. She gave us a lot of background work on her subjects and presented it in an interesting and exciting manner.

She has a lot of expertise in what she writes about and from her showing us her inspiration, when we read the book, we will be able to relate to the things that are being talked about. She told us about the art that inspired the painting, the buildings that inspired the buildings and the people that inspired the people. It seems like a very colourful book and Theresa has advertised it very well. She engaged us from start to finish and showed us many interesting pictures of paintings, people and optical illusions which amazed us all. On behalf of S2 I would like to thank Theresa for showing us this excellent presentation.

Review from Aaron:

The Blackhope Enigma sounded extremely gripping and entertaining from the extract we were read, and Teresa also explained the novel very well. She also showed and explained to us her inspirations for the series. She also told us the story of how she started writing The Blackhope Enigma.

We were firmly in Teresa’s grip as she read an extract of her book to us. Everyone enjoyed it and we all really found it interesting and informative.

We would like to thank Teresa and all of the teachers for taking their time to organise and run this event.

Thanks to James Witherspoon of 2E and Aaron Semple of 2G for their reviews of the author visit.
