| 3rd, 4th and 5th Grade Classes with Blue Balliett |
It was such an exciting privilege to meet Blue Balliett, famous author of New York Times bestseller and Chicago Tribune award winner for Young Adult Fiction
Chasing Vermeer, as well as the others in the series,
The Wright 3 and
The Calder Game.
These three books are set in Chicago's own Hyde Park and the main characters are third graders! What great connections! We will be reading
Chasing Vermeer as a class in the late winter/spring of this year!

| The kids listening to Blue Balliett share her experience as an author! |
Blue Balliett discussed her new book with us,
The Danger Box, which follows a new character. She also told us about life as an author and shared stories about how she writes, how difficult it can be - but how fun and rewarding.
The kids, as well as myself, were so inspired by meeting her and hearing her stories!
