It was such a fun week, visiting Michigan schools with Scholastic Book Fairs to introduce Stolen Girl! I met amazing students, educators and librarians and it was informative and fun to spend time with the phenomenal Scholastic Book Fairs team. Despite schools being canceled because of ice for two days, the Scholastic organizers were able to reschedule and rearrange so no one missed out. I am in awe! Here are some pics:
I admire Michelle Barker’s work and was thrilled with the opportunity to meet her in person and do a joint presentation on our newest books. Advanced placement English students at Notre Dame Catholic School participated in the thoughtful discussion.
