grade 5/ 6 author visit

[Al and Victoria Lo Brutto <altoria@NEXTSTEP.NET>]

Netters,

I need your learned advice.  I am fortunate to have a very active
PTA who have generously budgeted money for author visits.  My school
is located in northern Dutchess County and I am interested in finding
someone appropriate for fifth and sixth graders.  Probably can budget
about $500.  We hope to schedule this in April around the time of
National Library Week.   Any suggestions and success stories?
