CHILDREN’S author Frank Cottrell-Boyce will be at the St Helens Book Stop this Saturday for a book signing.

The Rainhill-born writer will be signing copies of his recently-published The Wonder Brothers.

Frank is a former pupil at St Bartholemew's Primary School in Rainhill and at West Park.

Last year he received the Pride of St Helens Lifetime Achievement Award due to his achievements as a children's author and screenwriter.

He wrote the script for the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics, where he used the town’s motto Ex Terra Lucem as inspiration, and a more recent script for the late Queen Elizabeth II’s on-screen cameo with Paddington Bear that formed part of 2022’s Jubilee celebrations.

Frank will be in the Book Stop on Bridge Street, St Helens, from 1pm on Saturday, September 16.
