We announced on behalf of The Hayling Island Bookshop recently that one of the most popular children's authors in the UK, Jacqueline Wilson, is to hold an event in Gosport on Saturday October 17th. The event is from 11.30am to 12.30pm with Jacqueline talking on stage at Bay House School, Alverstoke, about her books and taking audience questions.

There is now a poster available for you to advertise the event to your pupils.

Admission to the morning event is by pre booked ticket only and each ticket will include a copy of her new book Little Stars. Tickets are on sale only from The Hayling Island Bookshop on 02392 466620. See www.haylingislandbookshop.co.uk for full details.

A second, smaller event in the afternoon with Jacqueline at The Bakery, Royal Clarence Yard, has already sold out. There are no more volunteer spaces available.
