There’s only one author whose books have an entire shelf in the Lloyd Harbor School Library, and that is middle-grade writer Gordon Korman. His books are some of the most popular, particularly among fifth and sixth graders. How lucky he came to visit with the students! With his trademark sense of humor, Mr.Korman described how he wrote his first book as a 12-year old seventh grader (what!) and shared information about some of the 104 novels he has written since. Korman read aloud from his latest book, OLD SCHOOL, and shared writing advice with fourth, fifth, and sixth graders in three presentations on February 12. Mr. Korman advised that when writing creatively, students should consider the “what if?” possibilities, mine their own experiences, and use the power of observation. Before and after speaking to the students, Mr. Korman signed almost 200 books for LHS students and staff. Teachers and students are already asking when Gordon Korman can return!
