WOW Middle School Reading Ambassadors Present Melissa Marr
December 3, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 11:30 am
This conversation focuses on The Hidden Knife. From Nancy Paulsen Books, “Vicky has grown up under the watchful eye of a gargoyle named Rupert, and excels at sword-fighting and magic. But there’s so much she doesn’t know–like why her mother, once one of the queen’s elite Ravens, keeps Vicky hidden away and won’t let Vicky train at the elite Corvus school where girls with her gifts perfect their skills. But when a horrific tragedy occurs, Vicky knows it’s finally time to use her gifts, and that the only place she should be to avenge the crime against her family is at Corvus. There she bands together with a former street thief and an alchemy student to figure out whom they can trust in a place that’s rife with intrigue and secrets.”
The program includes a brief presentation, a question and answer period and time for snacks and personal interactions with the author. The workshop also includes one free hour of professional development, so invite your favorite teacher.
Books will be for sale at the conclusion of the meeting with time for signing.
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.
