$Book Signing with UK Children\u2019s Laureate \u2013 Frank Cottrell-Boyce$

We are thrilled to announce that in the lead up to World Book Day, we will be welcoming Children’s Laureate, bestselling author and award-winning screenwriter, Frank Cottrell-Boyce, to the bookshop.
Frank will be signing his latest paperback book, The Blockbusters!
This is a fantastic opportunity for children (and adults!) to meet a bestselling author and receive a copy of Frank’s book, signed by the man himself!
This event will be in the bookshop. There will be a queue system to meet Frank (this may include waiting outside so please dress for the weather.) All children must be accompanied by an adult. One ticket includes one copy of the book but will allow the family entrance. Please buy two tickets if you require two books, and so on… If you cannot make the event, we will get the book signed for you, for collection at a later date.

About the Book
The Blockbusters is a hilarious middle-grade adventure which offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the making of a major blockbuster movie. The story follows young Rafa, who comes across a film set and swaps places with a famous actor. So begins a high-octane adventure involving Hollywood glamour, mixed up phones and a missing brother…
With authentic insight into the chaos and excitement of film-making, and brimming with the writer’s trademark wit and enchanting storytelling, this is the perfect book for every reader aged 8 – 12.
