CLPE and Scholastic book launch for Lisa Thompson and Helen Rutter

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.

Lisa Thompson is the bestselling and critically acclaimed author of ‘The Goldfish Boy’ (one of the top selling debuts of 2017), ‘The Light Jar’, ‘The Day I Was Erased’, ‘The Boy Who Fooled the World’ and ‘The Graveyard Riddle’. Her books have been shortlisted for many awards, including the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize. She grew up in Essex and now lives in Suffolk with her family.

Helen Rutter lives in the countryside just outside Sheffield with her comedian husband, two children and two dogs, Ronnie and Billy Whizz. When she is not tapping away in her writing room, she loves walking the dogs, playing board games and reading. Before writing her first novel, ‘The Boy Who Made Everyone Laugh’, Helen wrote and performed her work on the stage and has even braved some stand-up comedy.
