Naomi's highlighting the Nerdfighter Tour of John and Hank Green prompts me to add that these events are like nothing I've ever seen. If you can make it, fantastic! Last Tuesday night in the Seattle public library, I was one of a handful of adults among 300 - 500 teens (I didn't count, but the auditorium was packed -- two levels up.) It tickled me (if I can use that term without smiling too much) to see teens craving this connection to a favorite, and now NYTimes best-selling author. They all had an interactive blast -- with readings, singing, storytelling, and more. And my guess is all of them came out that evening only because they wanted to, and not for an assignment or any reason directly school-based. I'm astounded and so pleased to see this response to an author!
