High octane, super cool presentation by Chris Bradford

Chris Bradford blew Hazlegrove away with his high octane, thrilling and super cool presentation of how to be a Bodyguard.

The children in the audience were spellbound as Chris led them through the different stages of becoming a qualified bodyguard - how to spot danger, how to get your VIP out of a situation fast and the colour code for staying alert to danger. All these things were covered during the presentation in an exhilarating and awesome way.

Put simply, you could not make wanting to read a book any cooler, Chris’s books are full of the same thrill and excitement as the presentation, and I imagine that now every single boy and girl in the audience is dreaming of becoming a Bodyguard. Hazlegrove will remember Chris's exciting talk for a long time.
