Midterm Experience 2012

Next Wednesday, January 25 The Wheatley School will host our annual midterm experience. Presenters from all around the NYC area will conduct workshops with students in a variety of ways from writing, to acting, to graphic comics and more. Two of the presenters are YA authors with highly regarded debut novels, Joshua Cohen and Caroline Bock. ( Caroline's husband is a Wheatley alum!). If you have not read their books, they are MUST reads! Both deal with issues of morality and choices, of doing the right thing. In addtion, our own esteemed Wheatley teachers will also be conducting workshops. Looking forward to it for sure!

Fabulous Fantasy

The Wheatley School Book Club affectionately known as BAA ( Book Addicts Anonymous) has created another fantastic display of our favorite fantasy books. Of course, we had to make sure that the books have eye catching covers, because as you know, we do judge books by their covers, especially when they are on display at the front of the IMC!  Thanks to our resident creative artist and banner maker, and stellar book club member Alexandra for making the most beautiful banner for our display.

Speking of fantasty, what is your fav? ( I love Gracling )

Stages on Pages

Attended The Dolphin Bookshop Stages on Pages event this afternoon with Rick Leidenfrost-Wilson. Great to meet authors who have written about the arts in YA fiction. Bought all the books and am looking forward to reading them. One of the authors turned me onto a cool website netgalley.com where you can download ARC's ( Advanced Reader Copies) of books not yet published. How cool is THAT!
