YOUNGSTERS at an Astwood Bank school had a literary treat last week when an author came to the school.

Pippa Goodhart took time out of her writing schedule to talk to pupils at Astwood Bank First School about her numerous children's books.

She has written 28 books, including Flow, which was shortlisted for the Smarties Prize, and Ginny's Egg, which was nominated for the Young Telegraph Book of the Year.
