Tom Vaughan Author Visit
Exciting news! Author Tom Vaughan will be visiting school on Thursday 14th November with The Little Ripon Bookshop. He will be talking to years 3, 4, 5 and 6 about his Hercules books… and Greek mythology in general! Tom is a lot of fun and I’m sure he will entertain and inspire the children.
"If Hercules Braver is going to survive his new secondary school, he has to live up to his name, fast. He needs to become strong and tanned and popular, like a Greek hero. Not weak and pale and unpopular, like a Greek yoghurt.
But his bid for popularity ends up saddling him with a set of impossible tasks ... like cleaning out the monster-riddled school pond, facing up to the school bully and finding the headmaster's missing cat.
Then Herc's charming, impressive birth dad turns up after years living in Greece, and Hercules thinks his problems are solved. With God-like strength and awe-inspiring powers, could his dad even be ... the real Zeus?!
And will Hercules learn what it truly means to be a hero?"
The books are funny, warm-hearted and have lots of illustrations. They are available via the link below – if you order them before the event, Gill, from The Little Ripon Bookshop, will bring them with her on the day and Tom will be able to sign them for your child. They are £7.00 each – the orange one came first but you can read them in any order.
