For Schools & Libraries

Bring Jayce to your school โ€” and watch what happens when children see themselves in the author

"When an 8-year-old walks into a school assembly โ€” a published author, a Mensa member, a BBC Blue Peter Gold Badge recipient โ€” something shifts. Children don't just listen. They lean in."
