Worlds of Words Middle School Reading Ambassadors invite you to meet Karen S. Chow, author of Miracle!
Modified from the publisher:
Amie has spent her life perfectly in tune with her father — she plays the violin, his favorite instrument; she loves all his favorite foods, even if he can’t eat them during his cancer treatments; and they talk about books, including Amie’s favorite series, Harry Potter. But after Ba-ba dies, Amie feels distanced from everyone close to her. More devastating still, she loses her ability to play the violin. With hope and harmony lighting the way — and with help from the people who care about her most — Amie must find the strength to carry on. In the end, she’ll learn that healing, while painful, can be its own miraculous song.
Karen S. Chow is a Taiwanese-American author, who started writing novels as a college sophomore at Arizona State University, while earning a degree in electrical engineering. Now, she is an engineer by day and middle-grade novelist by night. Her debut middle-grade novel, Miracle, is a heart story that combines her love for music with her experiences witnessing her father passing away from pancreatic cancer.
U of A Campus Store will be on site with copies of Miracle for sale.
This event includes a conversation between Chow and the Reading Ambassadors followed by audience questions and a book signing. This event is free and open to the public.
