NCTE Presentation with Margaret Peterson Haddix

Previously, I have announced on this blog my upcoming NCTE presentation on Virtual Author Visits with Kate Messner, Ellen Potter, and LeUyen Pham which will be on November 20th at 8:00 a.m. in the Coronado/Coronado S Ballroom.

So, I was sitting in the floor as I watched the television and tears started running down my cheeks when I saw the lines. Not in my lifetime had I ever seen anything like it.
