Author Tom Angleberger Visits 9th St. Club
Local author, columnist and artist, Tom Angleberger came to our
9th Street Club to talk to our kids about his book The Qwikpick Adventure Society,a novel for young persons. It’s the story of three kids who hear that their town’s Sewage Sludge Fountain is being shut down. They decide to risk it all and go see (and smell) it for themselves before it’s gone forever. It’s also about Origami, biscuits, penny basketball, love, friendship, Ms. Pac Man and, most of all, having one great day you’ll never forget. Qwikpick was up for the 2009 Nevada Young Readers Award and was also chosen as a Children’s Book Committee at Bank Street College of Education 2008 Best Books of the Year! Tom is an entertainer for sure! In one hour visit he had our kids juggling, writing poetry, laughing and listening about how fun reading is! We are so thankful to Tom and The Roanoke Times for their support of our kids!
