Book launch for "The Antiquities of Amalthea Academy" by Jonathan Brough

Join us for a special book launch event celebrating The Antiquities of Amalthea Academy, the exciting new children’s adventure by Jonathan Brough.

Packed with mystery, friendship and imagination, this treasure-hunt adventure blends a touch of the supernatural with a twist of Greek mythology. Three friends must work together to save their school, but can Thumper, their lively and loyal border collie, help them uncover a hidden collection of twentieth-century artefacts, and will it be enough to save the day?

Meet Jonathan Brough, who retired from teaching in 2023 after one hundred terms in education, including serving as headteacher of three schools. Jonathan now shares his love of reading and writing with young readers across the country, visiting bookshops, festivals, libraries and schools to talk about storytelling, answer questions, and inspire children to create stories of their own.

Perfect for families, young readers, teachers and book lovers, this event will include an author talk, audience Q&A, book signing, and the chance to discover a wonderful new adventure story.

Come along and celebrate the launch of a brilliant new book full of puzzles, surprises and heart.
