K.A. Applegate attends Champlin Park High School

 

For those that don’t follow Michael Grant on Twitter, he has recently updated his tweets with pictures he took of K.A’s presentation and visit at Champlin Park High School, where she discussed her latest book “Home of the Brave”. The pics include K.A. presenting on stage (right), prepping the presentation, signing a fan’s sneaker at the end, and a creative writing class in which K.A. worked with the students.

 

An article was also printed by the local paper Champlin-Dayton Press on the event. Here’s a brief excerpt:

“Champlin Park High School will sponsor its annual Red Hot Rebel Read again this summer. This year’s is the book, “Home of the Brave” by Katherine Applegate.

All incoming freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors received a copy of the book, which they will be asked to read over the summer and return with in the fall. In September, teachers will tie the book into their curriculum. In addition, the author will visit CPHS Sept. 24 to 25 to work with the students.”
