«Face to Face» 

I visit primary school free of charge! Booking now for 2025

My aim is to inspire creative writing and encourage a love of history! Rolo has retired and no longer accompanies me but my powerpoint is full of photos of the real dog!

Primary Schools and WI presentations 

Some feedback from previous visits

I just wanted to say thank you for what your books have done for my son. He is 9 and has Aspergers. He is a good reader but loses interested very easily. He came to watch you in the big hall at school .... with all the other children.... [which] for someone who doesn't do noise and crowds, is great. He now wants to write his own books. Thanks we are really grateful.'
Your thoroughly enjoyable presentation was such a welcome relief from the news of recent weeks. What a wonderful way to introduce children to history, you are a genius Debi. Rolo’s character is beautifully portrayed in the illustrations.
I was fortunate enough to watch your presentation last week for Wantage W.I. It was honestly one of the best one I have seen for a long time. Many congratulations. I loved the stories and your passion for history.
Both KS1 and KS2 assemblies were carefully planned with lots of interesting information about Debi's inspiration for her books and her key characters. Children have a great opportunity to learn about historical events through storytelling and adventure.
It was a pleasure to have you back Debi and thank you for inspiring the children yet again! Huge thanks again for coming to work with our children'. I bought a Rolo book for my son who is 12 and I can’t get him to switch his light off at night “just one more page Mum”!
Thank you so much for coming in yesterday - the children absolutely LOVED it and have come in this morning talking about it. we would love to see you back here soon! Many thanks
Dear Debi, many thanks for sorting out a book for my daughter G. It made her Christmas and she was found tucked up in bed reading it on Christmas day! She has already read it twice and is now waiting with baited breath for the next book!
