Shop owner Kate Claughan was thrilled to receive a phone call from the author’s publishers asking if she could attend and sign copies of her new book Superworm and the “sound book” of Room on the Broom.
Kate said: “We are very privileged that as a local independent bookshop we have been chosen as a venue on her national book tour and it is a great opportunity for children to meet and chat to her.”
