I would second Rita's comments. We had him at our school last year and he
was a great hit for us also. He also did some smaller workshops at which he
brainstormed stories with the kids. They loved that too. I would also highly
recommend him.

Subject: [LM_NET] Author Visit: Neal Shusterman
This week, we hosted a very successful author visit by Neal Shusterman.
Each presentation was one hour of wonderful storytelling: from his books,
his life, and his career as a writer. His format is completely interactive
and driven by questions from the audience.
The students and teachers found him very engaging and inspiring. He had a
remarkable connection to the Grade 6-8 age group and was very good at
adapting his presentation to the audience at hand. Even though he spoke for
a full hour, many teachers commented that it could have been longer!
Since his presentation, students have been pouring into the library to check
out and/or buy many of his books. This is exactly the outcome we hope for
with any author visit.
Check out his website: www.storyman.com
I highly recommend Neal Shusterman. If you have any questions, feel free to
contact me.
