Exeter Roman Gate Waterstone’s is set to host a Children’s Authors’ Roadshow event on Thursday, November 19 from 6pm as Carnegie prize nominee Elen Caldecott and South Devon’s own Luisa Plaja sign books at the store in a Christmas Shopping Evening.
Glaswegian-Sicilian-Londoner Luisa, who lives in South Devon (and shares our office here at PRSD HQ), will sign copies of Split by a Kiss and Extreme Kissing.
And to prove we’re not biased, here’s what Wondrous Reads says: “Extreme Kissing is about lots of things: friendship, family, trust, love and choices. It’s also about living life, and taking risks every now and then. I would highly recommend this to readers of Louise Rennison and Liz Rettig, and YA fiction fans in general, as I’m sure you will thoroughly enjoy this teen tale of extremes.”
Luisa will be working with Devon Libraries in a teen book club, which starts in December.
Elen Caldecott lives in Bristol with her husband and her imaginary dog, Augustus Snags. Stephanie Merritt, The Observer, wrote: This is a funny, lively and touching book… written in a smart, witty style that will appeal to pre-teens (marrows taste like “dinosaur-skin wrapped around snot”). Caldecott has created a thoroughly modern heroine in Kirsty Jenkins.
