Wonderful reviews

 

Your sessions were fabulous ...evidence gathering and sample analysis was far superior as a result of your visit ... after your visit the children had lots and lots of wonderful things to say. Wesley College

Keep writing, we can't wait for more of your Nicholas Twit mysteries. You wouldn't believe how often we use your books in our teaching. They are fantastic! Traralgon Primary School

A whole new generation was introduced to classic mystery fiction. Your session was great. Spring Gully PS

Thank you for sharing the delights of the Schoolboy Sherlock Holmes. Please come back Goldfields Library

You enthralled your audience and I was amazed at the children you particularly 'touched' - some of whom were very keen to see if we had Sherlock Holmes books in our school library Black Rock PS

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit us and share your knowledge with the children. They thoroughly enjoyed hearing about Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes. You managed to completely involve the children and highlighted for them the need to think outside the square when solving a problem or mystery. Feedback from the students and teachers was very positive and you fired up many imaginations. Dromana PS
