Meet The Author
William Boniface
February 26, 2009 from 1-1:30 p.m. (ET)
for Students in Grades 3-5
Register egister



This show’s producers can reveal the following: the reading habits of one entire school changed when two boys (hint: the boys are related to Mr. Boniface) lobbied the librarian to purchase a few copies of The Extraordinary Adventures of Ordinary Boy.  For boys and girls alike, each book in the series reveals a simple and important nugget: superpowers are no match for brainpower.

Meet the real Mr. Boniface and discover his approach to the writing process.

During this live program, students are invited to call in to talk to the author about his latest books, the writing process, becoming a writer—whatever is on their minds. (See Preparing for the Program.)
