On Wednesday, October 23rd, we welcomed three of the four authors of the Almost Epic Squad series to the library. Kevin Sylvester, Ted Staunton, and Richard Scrimger visited with our Grade 2/3 to Grade 6/7 classes to discuss their 4-book series about kid superheroes who develop, at first glance, quirky superpowers that aren’t very super at all! Their presentation was wonderfully engaging, funny, and inspiring.
They also talked about how they write as a group to develop their stories and gave students tips about their writing process. Number one rule? Don’t use an eraser! Keep, change, leave out, and develop those ideas, but don’t erase them. Our students are eager to start reading this series!
