The Dot Robot Roadshow hit Harris Academy of Peckham. It’s a HUGE school!!! And wow, what a great bunch of kids! The hall was jam packed! I thought my signing hand was going to fall off. I based the fictional school in Dot Robot on Peckham Academy, so it was kinda like coming home. And here’s a thing, this picture of me taking my fictional robot, Punk, for a walk, was shot on the road next to the school. A big thank you to the pupils and teachers for accepting me into the home borough of Dot Robot’s hero, Jackson Farley.
My first school visit with the Dot Robot Roadshow was to the boyZ & girlZ of Preston Manor High School, Wembley, London! What a crazy bunch they were. SOooo many autographs! My ears still haven’t recovered from the shouting during the robot race.
To all of you who came to Gadget Show Live… did we rock or what?! B-) What a blast! U were all awesome. I thought my hand was going to seize up with all those autographs. The main stage rocked. But the book signings blew me away! See you all next year?
The top photo features Suzi, Ortis and I live on stage.. testing the Panasonic Toughbook! The Second pic is the queue to have copies of Dot Robot signed. Incredible!
The photos and this link were sent to me by some of the audience members. A big thank you.
The Dot Robot Roadshow starts SATURDAY 4TH APRIL, 12.30PM. BLUE BOAR MARQUEE, CHRISTCHURCH COLLEGE OXFORD. I’m so excited to be at the Oxford Literary Festival for my first date. With just two days to go, if you want to come it’s best you turn up at the venue - but the Box Office number is 0870 343 1001 if you want to call. Dot Robot Roadshow isn’t your average book reading. I’m bringing a bunch of really cool robots including the model of Punk from my book. They’ll be a robot race and a chance to WIN one of two robots on the day!!! And of course, I’ll sign any copy of Dot Robot you like!
Other Dates include: 27th May - Hay Festival. 19th August - Edinburgh International Book Festival. 20th September - Bath Festival of Children’s Literature.
