the event takes places on 24 April at 4pm in Niche Comics Bookshop.

Children £2 and accompanying adults FREE.

Paula’s books will be available to purchase and there will be an booksigning and photos at the end of the event.

About Paula: I was born in Bletchley (home of the wartime code-breakers!) and I grew up in Bedfordshire which is in England. I always said I wanted to be a writer, but I didn't actually get round to it for quite a long time.

I trained to be a primary school teacher and spent many years teaching. Those years taught me what children like in stories and how they respond to humour and suspense. Reading to an audience of children is just amazing.
