John Muir Graphic Novel

A group of S2 and S3 pupil volunteers recently met an illustrator working on a graphic novel about the life of John Muir, the Scottish environmentalist.  They looked at a draft of the new novel and gave William Goldsmith the illustrator their ideas about his illustrations and the captions for the book. The Scottish Book Trust is going to give a class set of the novel to every secondary school in Scotland when it is published next year.  William and the author Julie Bertangna will return in October to show the pupils the next draft of the book.
