Portable Magic

‘Books are a uniquely portable magic’ and that is exactly what Majestic Promotions brought to St Christopher’s School. They magically changed the Infant Hall into a ‘Land of Books’ with around 20,000 titles of fiction and non-fiction books. It was amazing to see the enthusiasm with which St Christopher’s children and parents bought ‘real’ books in the modern technological age of the Kindle. One Year 6 reader, enthusiastically said, “There is nothing like the smell of a new book and having it in your hands and turning pages – there’s really no substitute for a real book.”

Titles by top selling authors were on offer, including; Diary of the Wimpy Kid – Hard Luck, Guinness World Records 2014, the My Sister the Vampire series, the Beast Quest series, and Goosebumps, naming just a few. Not forgetting our younger readers who loved the collection of Barbie books and authors, such as Eric Carle, Daniel Lipkowitz and Julia Donaldson. Majestic Promotions, have donated 20% of the entire sales to the Primary School Library which will go towards 562 new books.
