Ceremony Guest Author – Matt Dickinson

Matt DickinsonOur third guest author is Matt Dickinson – whom some of you have already had the privilege of meeting when he visited your school.  Matt has written the very exciting book The Everest Files, which is the first in a trilogy.  By the time of the Awards Ceremony on 9 March, his second book, North Face, will be published.  This will continue the story of Ryan Hart, whom we have been reading about in The Everest Files.

What makes Matt’s book so interesting is that he himself has climbed Everest, and so we know that all of the scenes on the mountain are absolutely authentic.  Matt has also been a Dickinsoncameraman for National Geographic and the Discovery Channel, amongst others, so he has a wide experience of travelling to exciting places. He also continues to climb mountains.  You can find out more about Matt and the books he has written and films he has made on his website here: http://www.mattdickinson.com/   Do look out for the sequels to The Everest Files, or read his other exciting trilogy, the Mortal Chaos series.  We are all looking forward to meeting Matt at the Ceremony!
