Award-winning Artemis Fowl author, Eoin Colfer, chats to Ali about his graphic novel, Illegal, and its importance to once small boy newly-arrived in Ireland. And, of course, Artemis Fowl may be mentioned too!

Author & illustrator, Sophy Henn, chats to Ali about empathy, and explains how you can change a mood or reveal a feeling with a small tweak to an eyebrow or a floppy ear.



Author Sam Copeland chats to Ali about empathy, his debut novel, and how important humour is in helping you cope with whatever life throws your way.
