Author and illustrator Rosemary Wells, best known for her classic children’s characters Max, Ruby, Timothy, and Noisy Nora, has written a wonderfully complex novel for young adult readers.  Red Moon at Sharpsburg focuses on a young girl from Virginia named India Moody who dreams of attaining a higher education at a time when only one college in the country would accept women students.  India’s strength of character is tested as she deals with the harsh realities of the Civil War and its impact on her small rural town.

During this live program, students call in to talk to the author about her latest books, the writing process, becoming a writer—whatever is on their minds.
