Book Sale and Author Visit

Each October the PA hosts the amazing Fall Book Sale in the library.  It is a great opportunity to check out some the newest books for young adult readers.  Part of this event involves hosting an author on campus for a day for assemblies and book signings.  We are so lucky this year to welcome Lisa Safron, mother of Peck alum Renee, to discuss her first YA novel Cut Paste Gone.  This entertaining novel reminds us all to be careful what you wish for!  Happy Reading!


From the Publisher:
Seventh grade wasn't supposed to be this hard for Mona Ryland. She just got her worst grade ever on a science test, her best friend Turnbacker is suddenly turning into her first crush, her sister Violet is acting weirder than usual, and worst of all, Mona just can't shake the loss of her beloved, kooky, tracksuit-wearing Gram. After finding a mysterious birthday gift--an unusual pair of bejeweled scissors--Mona uses them to create a collage. Cut paste is her therapeutic hobby. But the imaginary world Mona pieces together on paper is beginning to mesh with her real life in ways she never expected.
