Jonathan Stroud will be collecting his Hampshire Book Award next week in front of an audience of more than 500 Hampshire pupils and staff. Don't forget that Hayling Island Bookshop will have plenty of Jonathan's books for sale from both the Lockwood & Co and Bartimaeus series, which pupils will be able to have signed on the day. Paperbacks will be discounted from £7.99 to £7, so do please remind your pupils to bring cash or cheques made payable to The Hayling Island Bookshop in order to take advantage of this discount.

We are expecting photographers and journalists from local media during the event, so do also please talk to us on the day if you have any concerns about photo permissions.
