WOW Middle School Reading Ambassadors invite you to meet Heather Kassner.
This conversation focuses on The Plentiful Darkness. In this spine-chilling fantasy novel, reminiscent of Serafina and the Black Cloak, an orphaned girl chases a thieving boy into a magician’s land of starless, moonless gloom where other children have gone missing before her.
The program includes a brief presentation, a question and answer period and a book signing. Guests are welcome to stay after the author presentation as the Middle School Reading Ambassadors will receive recognition for their year-long participation in the program.
The UArizona BookStores offers books for sale during this event. The event also includes a professional development certificate, so invite your favorite teacher.
