It was hugs and high fives all round for students today as Geronimo Stilton returned to help show off the Book Fair. There are some lovely new books to look at and, if you are lucky, to buy! Most of the books we saw in the brochures are here – the new Minecraft book will arrive by Wednesday so if you were disappointed not to see it today don’t worry, you can buy these and get your copies by the end of the week.
Don’t forget to comment on the question below to be in the draw for a voucher to spend at the book fair.
