To help us celebrate our intergalactic reading journey, well known Australian children's author Deb Abela will be visiting St Pat's school on Thursday August 15. Deb will be talking to our students about her journey as a writer, how she comes up with such fantastic ideas for her novels and offering advice and encouragement to our own aspiring young writers. You can learn more about Deb and her wonderful books by visiting her website. Follow the link for a sneak peek of her latest series 'The Ghost Club'

It's the story of Isabella Charm and her friend Griffin who were left behind when a massive wave broke Grimsdon's sea barriers three years ago and engulfed most of the city. They're still alive because of Griffin's fantastic inventions and Isabella's survival skills. But then they meet young Xavier Stone who asks them to trust him. . . But should they? There are dangers everywhere. . . . Can he really help them and is he really who he says he is? Grimsdon is a story of survival, friendship and learning to trust your instincts.

We have lots of Deb's books in our library so come on in and check them out. . ..
