A great presentation able to keep all of the 5th and 6th graders enthused for the whole hour. The adults loved it too!
Wendy KesselringChilliwack LibraryChilliwack, BC
I have rarely seen a group more riveted by an author, and that goes for well-established ones. A good book, a varied pace, and the kids love seeing the video clips.

Thank you again for coming to Glenrosa Middle School. Our staff and students were invigorated by your presentation and your books cannot stay on the shelves. We had so much interest that we have bought 35 of your books to use with our all-boys classes for Lit Circles
