We were thrilled to welcome award-winning Canadian author, Susin Nielsen to Cramlington as part of her whistle-stop tour around the UK to promote her new book, No Fixed Address. Susin spoke about her background, her childhood ambition to be a writer and her previous work in television, before reading the intriguing opening chapter of her new book.<\/p>\n

\"Author<\/p>\n

No Fixed Address tells the story of 12-year-old Felix who lives in a van with his mother and pet gerbil – and, like all Susin\u2019s previous books, perfectly balances comedy and heartbreak.<\/p>\n

This talent for tackling tricky issues like poverty and homelessness is what makes Susin\u2019s work so popular with her readers all over the world.<\/p>\n

\"Author<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully there are kids who read my books and either feel that they are not alone – it\u2019s not just them \u2013 or they have never stopped to think about what it might be like to be in that situation, and maybe they\u2019re just going to be a little bit nicer to that person who is.\u201d explained Susin who was overwhelmed by the long queues of students wanting to buy a book at the event.<\/p>\n

Harriet Dunlea, from the author\u2019s publisher Andersen Press, added: \u00a0\u201cIt is always a delight to introduce our authors to Cramlington Learning Village where there is a huge enthusiasm for reading, and we are so pleased Susin Nielsen was able to meet the students during her four day UK tour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thanks to Seven Stories for the opportunity to host Susin\u2019s visit and for providing so much brilliant half-term reading for our students.<\/p>\n
