Author Visit

The JRC was pleased to welcome author Mark Smith as our visiting author for Book Week.  Mark spoke about his books 'The Road To Winter', 'Wilder Country' and the soon to be released final story in the trilogy.  He invited our Years 7 and 8 students to imagine what they would need and how they might survive if they were faced with the challenges confronting Finn, the main character in his story.  The students were captivated with his presentation and his books have been flying off the shelves.  We all had a great day.

For fans of Tomorrow, When The War Began.   https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7916229.Mark_Smith
