On Tuesday 7th March the Library Assistants had the opportunity to meet British children’s author Katherine Woodfine, known for The Sinclair’s Mysteries, at Wolverhampton Grammar School.

Students were given the opportunity to purchase a book, signed by Katherine, and to find out what inspired her to write her book The Mystery of the Clockwork Sparrow and hear more about the characters within and Sinclair’s Department Store.

Students also took part in a workshop where the children had to solve the mystery of the stolen painting.

Rajbir Singh in 8KB said, “I would give this trip 10/10. The trip taught me about where authors get their inspiration to write their stories. This was an opportunity to meet the talented Katherine Woodfine. This trip has also got me interested in reading mystery novels. I thought the best part was when we got to solve the Mystery of the Missing Masterpiece.

Bethany Bloomfield in 8JI said, “I loved the trip and had a fantastic afternoon. We solved a mystery and got some interesting answers to our questions. The best day ever we should go again next year.
