Dunedin Writers and Readers Festival

The school has five free tickets available to The Young Adult writers Panel. The panellists are Melinda Szymanik and Sandy McKay  who both published historical novels for young adults in 2013. A Winter’s Day in 1939 is Szymanik’s story of her Polish father’s time in Russian work camps during the Second World War. McKay has also written of the wartime experiences of a family member in When Our Jack Went to War, which takes the form of letters between two brothers, one at war and one at home. 
The writers will talk about their books, the experience of writing them and of the connection young readers today feel when reading stories of the past. 

Students interested in attending please see Mr Daniels or Miss Eames
