"Emma inspired us all when she came to visit and this resulted in some excellent stories. The children are delighted with their completed books and the fact that they are now published authors. We are very proud of Low Ash Primary's 'Ghosts of Valhalla' Books 1 and 2 and can't wait for the whole order to arrive!"
