Dr. Sarah Prineas, middle grades fantasy author and former English professor was kind enough to visit with a group of our students today for career day via Skype. Prineas was very engaging and dynamic; she was able to capture the hearts and minds of our students with a really nice down to earth talk about her books from the Magic Thief series.
Our hungry readers where treated to many details relating to plot, setting, and character development. This author had a very relaxed presence and great rhythm as she moved from booktalk to factoids to writing tips to a tour of her workspace to an introduction of her canine companion. She was gracious enough to answer all of the questions posed by our own young authors in very thorough and thoughtful manner.
Tbis Skype visit was a real highlight for the staff and students and we we are very, very grateful to this outstanding author for donating her time. Thank you Sarah Prineas!!!
