| Best known for his reluctant teenage spy Alex Rider, now a film as well as a series of books, the author also has an impressive list of TV credits including Midsomer Murders and Foyle’s War.
The event is the first live virtual author event to be hosted by the Scottish Book Trust and it is hoped it will be the first of many.
The author broadcast live over the Internet from Edinburgh into 250 schools and libraries across the country.
Anna Gibbons, children’s programme manager at the Scottish Book Trust said, “What’s really special about this is event is that any pupil in Scotland can watch.
“It is about breaking down traditional barriers to attending really exciting author events and giving everyone the opportunity to take part.”
Anthony discussed his work and took questions from the audience, giving insights to the internationally acclaimed work, as well as previews of the latest Alex Rider and supernatural The Power of Five series. He also talked about his latest TV drama, Collision, set to be broadcast in the autumn. |
