# Carnegie Award Winner Anthony Mcgowan comes to LSA!

 11 February 2022

 ![Image of Carnegie Award Winner Anthony Mcgowan comes to LSA!](https://files.schudio.com/lsa/images/news/IMG_2702.JPG)

As part of our "LSA Lit Fest Live '22" we invited Anthony to talk to some of our Y8's and Y9's about his back story and how he became a published author. Some of our students were lucky enough to get thier books signed!

As it's leading up to World Book Day in March Julian Sedgwick (Mon-Tue 21-22 Feb) will be meeting Year 8 Geography students to discuss his part-Manga, part-novel Tsunami Girl about the recovery following the Fukushima disaster in Japan.

Keep an eye on our website and social media to keep track of all the events taking place over the following weeks to celebrate LSA Lit Fest Live '22!
