East Valley HS had our first ever author visit on October 8, 2009. We won the 2008 Ed Pert Award from California Readers and the last part of the award is a visit by a California Author. We chose Caroline Arnold. She has published over 140 books in mostly fact format. Our library had nine before her visit and we purchased a few more and had them autographed for our school.
Ms. Arnold was prompt, organized, friendly, knowledgeable and patient. She spoke to seven classes of history students and even stayed after school to sign books for teachers. A lovely lady who shared her experiences with travel, choosing a career, editing process, and the creation of some of her artwork.
