Please note: This is an online event.

Join us online to hear children’s author Penny Tangey chat about writing, reading, and her funny, heartfelt new middle grade novel, As Fast As I Can. This is the story of ten-year-old Vivian and her dream to win a medal at the Olympic Games one day – if only she can find a sport she’s any good at. But just when she discovers her talent for cross country running, a family illness threatens to stop her in her tracks…

Tangey will be joined in conversation by Readings’ own Athina Clarke.

This is an online event and free to attend. Please book here, and you will be sent a unique Zoom link.
