Author Visit – Thursday 26th February 2026

Dear Parents and Carers, 

We are delighted to welcome back Lis Jardine – former HWA Librarian and now published children’s author – as part of our World Book Day Celebrations this year. Lis is the author of the incredibly successful The Detention Detectives book series: https://lisjardine.com/reviews/ 

Friendship, trust, courage and determination are  at the heart of this  extremely funny murder- mystery tale. Featuring a hugely entertaining  cast of characters, the intriguing plot is full of twists and  turns, and will  keep readers guessing to the very end. BookTrust,   

As well as an interactive audience activity, Lis will be delivering a talk to Year 7 students, sharing her journey to publication and why she chose to write murder mysteries. 

If your child has copies of her books at home, they are very welcome to bring them along on Thursday for Lis to sign. 

We are very lucky to have Lis come to see and us. I hope your child is left inspired and enthused by the visit. 

Yours sincerely, 

Deborah Owens | English Teacher and Literacy Co-ordinator
