Holly visited Butlin’s to publicise the day and charm up to 40 young readers with excerpts from her book.

Megan’s dad, Siu Lam, 39, said: “Megan has a reading age of nine. She loves reading Holly Web’s stories and was quite excited about meeting her first author. She will be the first name in her autograph book.”

Holly said: “Children mostly talk to me about their pets. I think they love the idea of a girl who can talk to animals.

“Molly’s a modern girl and it’s that twist they enjoy and they want to read about.”
