On 2nd October, Year 9 had the fantastic opportunity to welcome Rachel Delahaye, the award- winning author of over 20 young adult novels.
Rachel captivated the audience as she shared how she discovered her storytelling niche in science fiction and dystopia — genres that allow writers to imagine extraordinary worlds and explore big ideas about the future. She discussed how many sci-fi books (including her own!) have astonishingly predicted aspects of modern life. Far from being all doom and gloom, Rachel explained that dystopian stories often shine a light on courage and hope, introducing unforgettable heroes and heroines who inspire us with their acts of resistance.
The session was both inspiring and thought-provoking, sparking plenty of lively questions from students eager to learn more about the writing process and the power of imagination. Rachel’s young adult titles include Splinters and Electric Life, with an exciting sequel, Surge, on the way soon!
