I know I posted about him at one point. We had him here in the fall for
two assemblies, one for high school, where he discussed banned books
and freedom of speech, and a second meeting with the middle school
students, where he did a wonderful booktalk with discussion of why one
does/does not want to read. Standing ovation in the high school (kids
and teachers said it was the best assembly ever) and the middle school
kids loved him too. I can't wait to have him back - it's the best money
you'll spend!
