A Few Top Memories From School Visits
Having the children in Morocco surprise me on the last day of my visit by performing one of my books as a play.
Starting a writing project with a class and months later receiving a 100-page typed manuscript from two boys who'd turned the beginning into a novel they'd written.
Having a student write to me that she knew the workshop on After the Death of Anna Gonzales had saved her friend from committing suicide.
Hearing from the high school students at EFHS that they had chosen to open their beautiful new auditorium with a production of Holdup.
Smiling as a student asked me how I could be so old and still understand kids because I made them so real in my books.
Meeting the thousands of kids who'd read Danger in the Desert and wanted to discuss it during the year it was the ONEBOOKAZ.
