Percival Library Events

The Percival Library will be hosting events by the following authors in the coming year:

Mal Peet joined us recently to meet with pupils and sign books. Please read a review of his visit.

He is the author of three novels for young adults. His first novel, Keeper, was published in 2003, and won the Branford Boase Award. His second novel, Tamar (2005), the story of two men caught up in secret operations during World War II, won the 2005 Carnegie medal. His most recent book, The Penalty (2006), returns to the South American location of Keeper, and sets a modern-day story of crime and corruption against an historical narrative of slavery and occult religion. It was shortlisted for the 2007 Booktrust Teenage Prize. His new book Exposure is due to be out in October.
