visiting with David Lubar - my new favorite kid's author
Posted: Tue Sep 30, 2008 9:43 am
I say new favorite because David Lubar is coming to our school next Tuesday and he has a deliciously twisted sense of humor. If you have kids 4th grade through 8th grade, try and look for some of his at the library. One of his books, Punished is about a kid who's naughty in the library and a mystery man places a curse on him that he can only speak in puns. In order to remove the curse, he has to find palindromes and oxymorons. It's hysterical to find a clever word use in a kid's books.
When I wrote and asked him what he needed for his presentation, he said all he needs is a screen and projector. If we're lacking a screen, he could stack up kids wearing white t-shirts. . . He said he's had no fatalities during his visit, but he's not vouching for what happens after he leaves.
like I said, a quirky sense of humor. I'll give you an update after the visit. He's generously staying all day to work on short story writing skills.
