SUMMARY:Virtual Author Event with Jasmine Warga
DESCRIPTION:Register for admission to this virtual author event with Jasmine Warga (WFYP\, June 2013) for your WHOLE school! Admission includes 5 hardcover copies of A Strange Thing Happened in Cherry Hall. Recommended for Students in 4th-6th Grades. Space is limited. \n\n\n\nFrom the award-winning\, New York Times bestselling author of A Rover’s Story and Other Words for Home comes an extraordinary story about two friends\, a ghost\, a missing painting\, and a turtle named Agatha. The perfect next read for fans of The Swifts\, Kate DiCamillo\, and Erin Entrada Kelly. A painting has been stolen! When Rami sees a floating girl in the museum\, he knows he has seen her somewhere before. Then he realizes: She looks just like the girl in the painting that has gone missing. But how does her appearance connect to the theft? Agatha the turtle knows–she has been watching from the garden. But she can’t exactly tell anyone…can she? Will Rami\, with the help of his classmate\, Veda\, be able to solve the mystery? The clues are all around them\, but they’ll have to be brave enough to really look. This is a whimsical\, moving story about the universal desire to be seen and understood and how art can help us find connection\, even when we are at our loneliest. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe One and Only Ivan meets The Wild Robot\, in this unique and deeply moving middle grade novel about the journey of a fictional Mars rover\, from Jasmine Warga\, the Newbery Honor-winning author of Other Words for Home. Meet Resilience\, a Mars rover determined to live up to his name. Res was built to explore Mars. He was not built to have human emotions. But as he learns new things from the NASA scientists who assemble him\, he begins to develop human-like feelings. Maybe there’s a problem with his programming… Human emotions or not\, launch day comes\, and Res blasts off to Mars\, accompanied by a friendly drone helicopter named Fly. But Res quickly discovers that Mars is a dangerous place filled with dust storms and giant cliffs. As he navigates Mars’s difficult landscape\, Res is tested in ways that go beyond space exploration. As millions of people back on Earth follow his progress\, will Res have the determination\, courage — and resilience — to succeed…and survive? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJasmine Warga is the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of middle grade novels Other Words For Home\, The Shape of Thunder\, and A Rover’s Story. Other Words For Home earned multiple awards\, including a John Newbery Honor\, a Walter Honor for Young Readers\, and a Charlotte Huck Honor. The Shape of Thunder was a School Library Journal and Bank Street best book of the year\, a finalist for the Barnes & Noble Children’s and YA Book Award\, and has been named to several state award reading lists.
