I KILL PEOPLE, BUT ONLY ON PAPER
Welcome to my little corner of the Internet. I'm a New York Times bestselling author who loves kung fu, Brazilian jujitsu, and all things salty.
Anyone slightly worried about me? (Hopefully not because I am unfortunately NOT a New York Times bestselling author...and nothing else in that list describes me, either.)
So who does the list describe and why should we care?
YA author April Henry welcomes guests to her website with those words, and we care because she is coming to hang out with us (I mean, our students) next fall!
Something about hearing that an author is coming to visit our schools always stirs my little bookworm heart...
Anyway, next fall, Henry will be spending almost a full week with us in South Dakota, and sandwiched between her speaking engagements with the 2016 SD Festival of Books and the SD Library Association's annual conference, she will be visiting some of our Sioux Falls schools. (Ask your librarian if she is visiting your school because I don't have all of the details.)
I spent a little time snooping around her "little corner of the Internet" because I haven't read any of her books...yet. (I plan to this summer.) I am intrigued! She has some interesting quick reads under her Bio tab:
If your students are headed to hear her speak, they might have fun searching through her pages. (And a few of them might work well as informational text practices, too.)
Have fun exploring!
