Here are some comments from Laura Atkinson, Media Specialist at Johnakin Middle in SC about their recent "Authors of Mystery and Horror" program at the beginning of October!

"Chad, we thoroughly enjoyed having you with us Friday. I don't know who you impressed more, the kids or the teachers who saw your performance! I know you were great, because the kids were entranced and hanging onto each word you said, and that is saying quite a bit! Our kids almost "raced" down to the media center to check out the books you talked about! I'd put up a display and they were "gobbled" up by excited readers.Mystery and horror are favorite subjects of middle schools students and they loved all the gory facts and details you shared! My favorite part of the program was the interaction with the students and seeing them all frantically raise their hands to be selected to participate. Just about all the authors you mentioned are checked out and I have quite a few "on hold" for other students when they are returned! We definitely want you back next year with your new program!"

Librarians - The summer is winding down and now is the time to book for the summer of 2009 and 2010 - yes, libraries really are booking that far in advance so they can get the date that works best for them! As always, the show will be themed around the VRP Theme: Next year is "Be Creative at Your Library" and 2010 is a water theme!

Attention Educators:

Chad is excited to offer his three brand new shows for the 2008-2009 school year! The "Reading Safari Show" for elementary schools and the "Authors of Mystery and Horror Show" and "Character Matters" program for middle/high schools.
