People of the internet – pay attention! The one and only Maureen Johnson, Queen of Teen 2012-2014, is bringing her awkward stare to our green land once again. As she is appearing at the Edinburgh Festival we thought it would only be fair to let the rest of the country in on the action. We’ve even managed to get her successor as Queen of Teen, James Dawson on board for two events, so two queens for the price of one!! So if you’re a fan of the SUITE SCARLETT books, or THE KEY TO THE GOLDEN FIREBIRD then make sure you get yourself to one of these places in August…
