Rex Zero Workshop

Posted by Anonymous On 10:42

On November 11, 2010 author Tim Wynne-Jones spent the day with us, attending one of the interactive workshops held in the Rex Zero Headquarters and then reading from the first finished draft of the 4th installment of the series. Tim then answered questions about Rex and the writing process and signed copies of his books. Thank you , Tim for the wonderful afternoon! We look forward to finding out what Rex will be up to in your next book! The West Carleton Review came out to report on the event, the full article may be found here

Rex Zero Headquarters! Now Open!

Posted by Anonymous On 13:36

On Novemeber 9 we officially opened the cool new Exhibit/Interactive space in the Bunker devoted to Elementary-aged students. The space's design is taken from the pages of award wining author Tim Wynne-Jones' Rex Zero series of books. Rex Zero stories are set in Ottawa, Canada during the early 1960s and Tim's attention to detail in describing Rex's world made it easy for us to re-imagine his bedroom, his classroom, and key Ottawa landmarks from that time period.

We were happy to have Tim with us at the opening which (not so coincidentally) coincided with the launch of his brand new Rex Zero novel, Rex Zero, The Great Pretender. he read from both his first and new book to the inaugural class to workshop with us in the space - The grade 5ers from St Michael Corkery Catholic School.

Listen to Tim and host Alan Neal talk about the space and Tim read from his new book on CBC`s All In A Day: Best of All In A Day, Nov 9, 2009
