Hello Joan,

That would be such a great event! This book is one of the titles for All CT Reads so wondering if maybe you could partner with the State Library/Kym Powe on something.

Not sure if that's possible but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Hello CASL Members,

I have been in contact with T.J. Klune about a possible visit to Connecticut in September to talk with our students about "The House in the Cerulean Sea" as a culminating event to our summer reading program. He lives in California, so we would need to pay travel expenses plus an honorarium. I'm wondering if there are any other area schools that might also like to host this author. Perhaps we can coordinate and share expenses? We are located in northwestern Connecticut.

Plans are very rudimentary at this point, but I am willing to pursue this idea if others are interested.

Best regards,

Joan Temple

“The most, MOST important thing is to read. Read all the time; read when they tell you not to read, what they tell you not to read, read with a flashlight under the covers, read on the bus, standing on a corner, waiting for a friend, in the dentist's waiting room. Read every minute you can. READ LIKE A WOLF EATS. Read." ~ Gary Paulsen (1939-2021)
