BOOK TO SCREEN

Julia Jarman has been involved in a great project called Book to Screen. She worked with a film maker and a school using her novel The Ghost Writer. Together they created a film from a chapter in Julia's book in order to create a wider literacy - including visual literacy- by enabling children to compare the novel, film script and the film.

Teachers can download packs from this link www.juliajarman.com/pages/resources_for_teachers.htm

Packs include a variety of resources including a copy of the novel, the film, author;s plan, director's notes and much more

Awards & Reviews

Saving Rafael

By Leslie Wilson

I have finished SAVING RAFAEL, and am very impressed. It's completely engrossing, and covers a swathe of time without seeming rushed. I especially liked the varying affiliations of the characters and the bravery of Jenny and her mother, and the power of Jenny's feelings for Raf. Many congratulations.

Like KUMMERSDORF, it portrays the war from a perspective not much known to young readers in this country. Linda Newbery
