Author Xiran Jay Zhao will answer some burning reader questions, ahead of the release of the sequel in 2023!
All are welcome to this event – tickets are £2 and all proceeds (minus VAT + Eventbrite Fees) will go to Give A Book UK, who promote books and the pleasure of reading in the hardest to reach places. Their core belief is that to pass on a good read – to give a book – is a transaction of lasting worth. They work in prisons, schools and with disadvantaged children and young people throughout the UK
