Instead of having students choose from a list of books, read them over the summer, and then hear an author, the students will hear the author first. Actually, the students will get to meet three authors – Erin Lange, James McTeer, and Greg Neri. After they meet the authors on September 12th in a special assembly, each student will get the opportunity to pick from a list of six books: five from the authors listed above and one from Wes Moore who they met March 9th, 2016.
