I will be visiting Hurlingham Prep School in Putney, London, on November 16th to read Marshall Armstrong is New To Our School to the students as part of Anti-bullying Week.

Starting at a new school isn’t always easy, but Marshall doesn’t seem too bothered by it all. This story came to me from a memory of an American boy who appeared in my class one day at school. He didn’t have a uniform yet, had a strange accent and was fearless. He was just different. The boy was only there for a month and then he just didn’t come back. I always wondered what his story was.

I hope Hurlingham Prep school like me.

(This is a private event for the school).
