The intelligent, well-behaved students of Central Christian School in St. Louis have been told of the dangers lurking in Glipwood Forest. As you can see in this photo, they were grateful.
It's been a long day, so I don't have it in me to write a full-on post, but I wanted to drop in and let you know what a grand time I had with these students today. Mr. Crane, Nancy the Librarian, the teachers and staff, and the 1st through 6th graders reminded me once again why I love writing books. This school hosted my first ever actual school visit back in 2008 when On the Edge was first published. It was fun to come back to tell them about North!. Hopefully next year I'll be back again with book three. Tomorrow morning I head back home, at which point I plan to carve out a few hours to make real progress on it. There's a monster in the Hollows, you know. It must be stopped.AP
