AUTHOR Alex Mullarky will be taking children on a magical journey when she visits Central Library in Greenock.

At a special Meet the Author session, the veterinary nurse will use her debut novel to transport young readers into a fairy realm.

She will read passages from The Sky Beneath the Stone at the event, coming up in the library on Monday July 11 from 2-3pm.

It is part of the council's summer reading challenge and places must be booked in advance online via the Inverclyde Libraries page on Eventbrite.
