After reading The Crossroads, the Bookworms had a great time skyping with the author.
Chris is smart and funny. He loved answering questions about his books and his life. One question was, “Who would star you in a movie of your life?” He showed us his writing studio and gave some great tips for young writers to follow. He just co-authored a best-selling novel, I, Funny, with James Patterson.
We even got to meet Fred, his dog.
Fred, who was abandoned as a puppy and discovered running around in the Bronx, was placed on Death Row in a kill shelter. Fortunately, he was soon rescued by famed Broadway animal trainer Bill Berloni and trained to star in CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG on Broadway. (All of Mr. Berloni's animal stars are rescues.) Chris and his wife then adopted Fred.
Here are some pictures from our skype session:
Bookworms meets every Wednesday afterschool from 3:00-4:00. We are now reading The Ransom of Mercy Carter. Any middle schooler is welcome to join us! Come sign up in the library or just show up on Wednesday. You won’t be sorry. We have a lot of fun!
Happy reading,
Connie
