Auchencairn and Palnackie Primary Schools were visited by an award-winning author recently.
Ross MacKenzie, author of The Nowhere Emporium was introduced by Iris who had researched his career.
Ross went on to read to the children from his book and then gave them a preview of his latest novel which will be published in the summer.
The children thought Ross was an inspiring visitor and can’t wait to continue to read his books. He was also awarded one of the new “Reading for Life Scheme” gold badges.
After the visit pupils commented that:
“He was very enthusiastic about his writing.”
“I was really excited and wanted to read more.”
“I want to read now and I didn’t really like it before.”
