WOW Middle School Reading Ambassadors invite you to meet Dusti Bowling.

This conversation focuses on Across the Desert. From the publisher, “One girl sets out on a journey across the treacherous Arizona desert to rescue a young pilot stranded after a plane crash in this gripping story of survival, friendship, and rescue from a bestselling and award-winning author.”

The program includes a brief presentation, a question and answer period and time for snacks and personal interactions with the author. The UA BookStores offers books for sale and autographing during this event. The workshop also includes one free hour of professional development, so invite your favorite teacher.

Free parking is available at the surface parking lot north of the intersection of First and Vine. Sometimes free parking is available at the Second St. Garage next door to the College of Education. The WOW Center is also located just off of the 2nd St. Modern Streetcar stop.

This free program for area middle school students encourages them to promote reading in their own contexts. Additional information on the Teen Reading Ambassadors is available on our website.
