Join author Zohra Nabi for an interactive story making session inspired by her latest spine-tingling adventure, Deep Dark. Zohra will read from her book, talk about life as an author and help students create setting, characters and a story arc. Bring pens and paper and get ready to build your own magical world! Zohra grew up inventing stories for her two younger sisters. She studied law at Cambridge and Oxford universities, but secretly dreamed of being an author. Now she lives in London, browsing bookshops and writing magical adventures.

‘This book is stunning – Zohra Nabi writes like a dream and has achieved the impossible by conjuring up a living, breathing Victorian London right before my eyes. I felt like I was right there with Cassia while reading it, magic sparkling around us.’ – Natasha Hastings, author of The Miraculous Sweetmakers
