Author Gordon Korman Visits with Upper School Boys
Upper School boys enjoyed a special workshop with visiting author Gordon Korman in the school ’ s theater . The author of over 100 books for children and teens , Gordon has been publishing fiction since he was just a child himself — he wrote his first book in the seventh grade ! The boys loved hearing that story , and enjoyed hearing Gordon talk about where all his ideas come from and what the process of writing his novels is like . Several boys stayed after the book signing to receive writing advice .
The Lower School also was visited by two local authors . Randall de Seve , who has written several books including This Story is Not About a Kitten , Toy Boat , A Firetruck Named Red , and Karina Yan Glaser , author of The Vanderbeekers of 141st Street , a delightful seven-book series .
The Visiting Authors Series is hosted and funded by the PA Visiting Authors Committee in collaboration with Saint David ’ s Upper and Lower School Librarians .
