[CASL-L] Free Author Visit Opportunity: Hall High School Junior Who Just Published a KenKen Book

[Monica Ahern]

Hello Library Friends,

A terrific student from my high school, Sophie Kudler, just published a
book and would love to introduce it to your students (virtually or in
person if that is a possibility).  I have pasted her email to me and
contact info. below in case you might be interested in having her do a teen
author visit/workshop at your school:

My name is Sophie Kudler, and I am a junior. I am reaching out because I
wrote a children's book about KenKen puzzles (number puzzles using all
arithmetic operations to fill in each box of the puzzle) titled *KenKen For
Kids!*, and my book was published by KenKen Publishing Company over break!

Here is the link to the book on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/KenKen-Kids-Sophie-Kudler/dp/1945542101/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=kenken+for+kids%21&qid=1618891380&sr=8-1


The book is set up as a workbook, so I explain important information, walk
through how to solve the puzzles, and then there are puzzles for the reader
to solve and certificates of mastery at the end of each chapter.

I have been competing at the KenKen International Championship in New York
since 2018, and I placed in the top 5 of the high school division in 2019
(the most recent competition due to COVID). I also serve as the national
KenKen organization's social media manager.

The book, which specifically is written for children, uses simple language
and techniques to teach anyone how to solve KenKen puzzles. I have a lot of
experience teaching KenKen to others as I have been teaching on Zoom at a
non-profit organization in Hartford for elementary- and middle-school
students, and I also am teaching at the West Hartford Senior Center over
the next two weeks.

I am so excited to share my love of KenKens with others!  You can contact
me at sophie.kudler at gmail.com.

Thanks so much,
Monica
