Author Derek Landy visits Leixlip Library!

Children’s BookFest ’08 was officially launched in Leixlip Community Library on October 2nd. Four classes of local schoolchildren were entertained by Derek Landy, creator of the clever skeleton detective, Skulduggery Pleasant. Children and teachers alike were spellbound by Landy’s tales of growing up “with a head like a  potato” and meetings with Stephen Spielberg. He is on first name terms with the world famous director - in fact he calls him Ste! He spoke to the children about his new house guarded by ferocious cats and partook in a lively question and answer session.
