Jacqueline Harvey: School holiday fun in Sydney - High Tea at the Tea Salon with Alice-Miranda

A Bookish Adventure

I started this blog to document an extended trip to the US and UK in 2012, introducing children to my Alice-Miranda series. It's hard to believe that it's just on four years since we launched the first Alice-Miranda title - and now there are nine books out in Australia with another five still to come. When I first came up with the idea of this precocious seven and a quarter year old, I had no clue that she would take me on such an amazing journey, not only in Australia but also across the world. I visited 37 schools while we were away in 2012 and gave over 80 talks - it was fantastic. In 2013 I've been on lots of new adventures in the UK - visiting schools from London to Southampton, Lancashire, Scotland, Newcastle and back to London again. After that I headed off to meet readers in Singapore. In Australia I've been to Melbourne, Perth, Albany, Alice Springs and Brisbane. There's a new series too - about a gorgeous little girl called Clementine Rose. She and Alice-Miranda don't know each other yet, but they will soon.

Hi Jacqueline

What a lovely event to celebrate a new book. I have just finished reading the series and loved them and am now starting the Clementine Rose books.

I am by no means a 'young fan' but love the series and have been recommending them to young members in my library.

I need to add some extra names and hyphens to my name to keep up!
