Reaching high for the best for your child

Fairlands has a special visitor today to start off our Creative Writing Week - the inspiring author of a fantastic trilogy of children's novels called the SeaBEAN Trilogy! 

Sarah told us in assembly how she was inspired to write the novels when she heard about a real-life, mysterious island of St. Kilda, off the Western coast of Scotland, uninhabited since 1937. This barren island is the setting for the trilogy, where, on her 11th birthday in 2018, Alice finds a mysterious black box on the beach. She discovers it’s called a C-Bean and imagines it belongs to her. Together with her five schoolmates, they soon realise it has extraordinary powers and can transport them anywhere in the world, from Central Park to the Amazonian rainforest to the backstreets of Hong Kong, as they uncover danger and subterfuge threatening the world’s eco-systems.

The books are quite magical themselves, with an amazing heat-sensitive cover which changes colour when you hold it! The children were really excited to hear about how Sarah became an author, the inspiration behind the first two volumes in the series and how she is looking forward to November when the third volume is published.

Come along to an EXCLUSIVE BOOK SIGNING, after school today, where children can meet the author face to face, and get a signed copy of the books, at a reduced price of £8 each (rrp £9.99) or £15 for the first two volumes. For more info, take a look at the SeaBEAN website.
