Class Acts Tour
The inaugural leg of HarperCollins's Class Acts Tour was a smashing success! Jon Scieszka, Christopher Krovatin, and I had some of the most awesome audiences ever, so we need to send a big thank you to the kids, teachers, and librarians at Noecker School in Roseland, NJ, Union School in Rutherfor, NJ, and Lafayette Elementary, Capitol Hill Day School, Landon School for Boys, St. Andrew's Episcopal School, The British School, and Sheridan School (all in Washington, DC). Thanks also to the fantastic bookstores involved: Books, Bytes, and Beyond in Glen Rock, NJ, Politics & Prose in D.C., and Barnes & Noble Princeton. It was one heck of an amazing week.
