A Visit from Author Tia Fisher - Operation Doodlebug

Year 5 and Year 6 were incredibly excited and honoured to welcome author Tia Fisher to St George’s to share her new book, Operation Doodlebug.

Set in spring 1944, the story follows Stan, whose father bravely enlists to fight on D-Day. When he is reported missing, presumed dead, Stan refuses to give up hope. As doodlebugs begin to fall on Croydon, Stan and his friends embark on an adventure to uncover the truth, discovering along the way what bravery really means.

The children thoroughly enjoyed an immersive session, brought to life through exciting props and sound effects. Tia also finished with a fun quiz and gave the children the opportunity to ask questions about the book and her writing.

A huge thank you to Tia for such an engaging and memorable visit. We hope it has inspired some of our children to discover Operation Doodlebug for themselves!

For anyone who would still like to purchase a copy, books are still available to buy through the Compass Shop.
