At our school, we are thinking about making "Refugee" our One Book One School title for summer reading and inviting the author, Alan Gratz, to speak to our students in September. The all-inclusive cost is $3,000.00 (he handles all the travel plans and expenses), but he is happy to split the day between two schools as long as they are relatively close. Anyone interested? Here is Alan Gratz's
webpage concerning school visits. Please contact me off-list if you'd like to discuss the possibility of sharing this dynamic (and oh-so-timely) speaker.
