Comment

A Halesowen author impressed a whole host of school pupils by reading from a book she has written about a wizard and his adventures as he tries to rescue his magical bird.

Michelle Gannon (pictured) read passages from Woll - Wizard of Love and Laughter - to youngsters from Pens Meadow School in Wordsley and Forestdale School in Birmingham at Waterstones bookshop in the Merry Hill Centre.

The 88-page publication follows the adventures of Woll, whose magical bird is stolen. In his quest to find it, he comes across a host of magical and mystical creatures.

Michelle, aged 30, said: "The children asked me some questions on the book and they said they thought it was good and they would buy a book to read the rest of it.

"The schools bought six books from me to put in their library and to give to the head of literacy and I might be going to their school to read it to more of the children in the library."
