Dynamite duo Leona Forde and Karen Harte are experts in disasters – their kooky character Milly McCarthy is constantly finding herself in the middle of a complete catastrophe! From butterfly breakouts to diabolical dancing, in Milly’s world, there’s never a dull moment.

Come along and hear about Leona’s inspiration for Milly’s latest misfortunes and misadventures in Milly McCarthy and the Sports Day Shambles. Plus, students will get to capture the chaos for themselves as they put pen to paper and create their own Milly-themed sketches with guidance from illustrator Karen Harte!

Leona Forde wrote Milly McCarthy for her daughter, who wanted to read a Wimpy Kid style story but not one set in the US or UK. She is currently writing Milly’s fourth adventure.

Karen Harte is an illustrator, comic creator and visual designer who has worked with a variety of clients such as Girls Rock Dublin, Fighting Words and more.
