Adriana Trigiani
September 24, 2009 · Grades 7-12

Adriana Trigiani, author of Big Stone Gap, enters the world of young adult literature with Viola in Reel Life.  The first in a series, Viola in Reel Life, is about 14-year-old Viola, who hates the idea of moving from her Brooklyn home to boarding school in Indiana for ninth grade while her parents finish a film project in Afghanistan.  Roommates, dates, ghosts, and moviemaking are part of the mix for Viola. 

 

During the program, Trigiani shares the factors that influenced her writing and her approach to the writing process. Via video conference, students from Powell Valley High School in Big Stone Gap, ask the author questions. In a roll-in feature, a student reporter explores the world of young adult fiction with other high school students.

 

We hope you and your students enjoy the program. Please take a moment to complete evaluation form. Your participation in the evaluation process is greatly appreciated.
