Kingsland Primary School welcomed back award winning children’s book author Janis Mackay.

Janis came to the school to launch her new book “The Reluctant Time Traveller” the sequel to her prize winning “The Accidental Time Traveller”.

The books are set in Peebles and Kingsland is featured as the school which the main characters attend.

Janis read a passage from the book and invited two P7 pupils to take the role of two of the children and read to the assembled fellow pupils.

Hans Kobus and Lily Robertson performed to perfection and helped make the story come to life.

Janis held a book signing session for pupils and parents in the school library and sold out very quickly.

She thanked headteacher Jacqueline Wilson for hosting the event and the teaching staff for helping with her research when she was last in Kingsland.
