Mystery Writing workshop with Holly Webb - Waterstones Taunton

A Girl’s Guide to Spying: A mystery writing workshop with superstar children’s author Holly Webb.

"A Girl’s Guide to Spying is a compelling blend of intrigue, mystery and puzzle solving. Join Rose Patrol as they find themselves caught up in a dangerous race against time to uncover the identity of a double agent. Packed full of twists and turns, this is a real page-turner of a read. Inspired by the real-life work of Girl Guides during the First World War, this historical mystery is a must have for fans of Robin Stevens." Jo Clarke – Waterstones

Holly’s highly interactive workshop is designed to engage budding young writers, by sharing her journey and how research inspired her to write a spy story full of intrigue, mystery and puzzle solving. Children will explore how to find brilliant ideas everywhere – from moments in history to the things that inspire them. Holly will also show children that every real-life experience can be described and transformed into an imaginative story.
