[Tasl] Kerry Madden--School Visits

[S. Scot Smith]

I will be bringing Kerry Madden (author of Gentle's Holler, Louisiana's Song, 
and the soon-to-be published Jessie's Mountain) to the Knoxville area for the 
week of November 10-14, 2008. Kerry's books have received critical acclaim and 
are set during the early 1960s in the Smokies. The age range for the series is 
probably grades 4-7, so elementary or middle schools might be interested in 
having her visit. She will visit my school for a full day and will visit Oak 
Ridge's other middle school for a half day. Since she is coming all the way 
from California, we are hoping to line up some more schools. Please access her 
web site at http://www.kerrymadden.com/speaking/wshops1.html for information 
about her school visits and then email me if you are interested in hosting her 
at your school.

Take care

Scot
