Our adolescents, students of Secondary School, received well-known author Madeleine Roux.

She initiated as as blogger with Allison Hewitt Is Trapped which became a unique fiction series for her followers. She also wrote Bestsellers such as Sadie Walker Is Stranded and the upcoming book release of the House of Furies series. Our students could ask her plenty of questions. One of the answers which we truly appreciated was when she mentioned that writing is 10% a good idea and the rest, work! Meanwhile, 5th form pupils, welcomed author Verónica Sukaczer, 2014 Konex Award, Juvenile literature. Verónica is Argentine, a journalist, writer and editor.

We have also received the visit of plenty of families who came to be with the children while walking and sorting different books, giving the Fair a great frame to the event. Today will be its last day. Let´s enjoy till the very end!
