[ISLMA-Share] looking for author to visit 7th/8th grade

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

We have a former student, Mitchell Granger, that has written the book, Jack
Stryder and the Lost Library of Alexandria.

He visited our school and talked to our student about the book and his
writing process. He was then invited back to speak to our 8th grade
graduating class. He is a very motivational speaker and loves talking with
students.

He is local, north side of Chicago.

Let me know if you would like more information.
