Justin Somper carries the Reading & Writing Relay Baton to Stockport


Author of Vampirates series, Justin Somper, visited Stockport Grammar School on Tuesday 1st July, to continue the Reading and Writing Relay across Greater Manchester.

Justin Somper and his custom made Vampirates Sea Monkey, Cap'n Jesse Spike.

Justin was greeted by Year 8 pupils, who listened intently as he talked about his popular teen series Vampirates, and his latest series of novels, Allies & Assassins.

Pupil, Sophia Boar, told us, "I really enjoyed listening to Justin and he has really inspired me to write more."

Fellow pupil, Scarlett Winter, added to this, "I thought that today was very interesting and that it was fun to listen to."


Justin then joined a few pupils in the library over lunch, for a more relaxed question and answer session. Overall, the pupils at Stockport Grammar seemed inspired by Justin's visit.
