CHILDREN at Uplowman School in Tiverton were treated to a spell-binding afternoon when author C.J. Busby paid a visit on Wednesday.

She writes funny, fast-paced fantasy stories for children.

Her ‘SPELL’ series follows the adventures of Max Pendragon, a squire in King Arthur’s kingdom, his sister, Olivia, his pet rat, Ferocious, and Olivia’s dozy dragon, Adolphus.
