Join Caryl Lewis as she introduces her new novel Seed! Seed is a funny and uplifting story about the power of the imagination and the importance of believing that anything is possible.

Seed started with a little idea, a seed of an idea, and grew into a marvellous adventure. So, where do writing ideas come from? How can we grow them? And where can they take us?

Listen to Caryl to find out and hopefully you'll leave with a few ideas of your own. This event is suitable for children ages 7-12. Please note accompanying adults do not need to buy a ticket, but you will be required to stay with your child/children for the entire event.

Marty doesn't have much. Unlike his mum, who has billions of things: newspapers, holey shoes, rusty lawnmowers, broken picture frames - she keeps EVERYTHING!

It's hard to leave the house. Marty does his best to look after her and wonders if anything will ever change. But on Marty's birthday, Grandad, with a glint in his eye, gifts Marty a very special seed. Grandad hasn't been this excited since he invented the bum scratcher 2000 or thought he'd brewed wonder fuel from rhubarb leaves!

The seed grows bigger and bigger, and launches Grandad, Marty and his best friend Gracie on an impossible, wondrous plan fuelled by love, hopes and dreams. Perfect for fans of Ross Welford, Jenny Pearson and Lisa Thompson.
