The ALAN YA Historical Fiction Panel

On Monday, November 22, I'll be in Orlando, FL, joining English teachers and writers for the yearly Assembly on Literature for Adolescents of the National Council of Teachers of English.

I'll be sitting on a panel moderated by Ricki Berg of Rockville High School entitled "Finding Myself in the Past:  YA Historical Fiction and Fact."  My two co-panelists are women I can't wait to meet—Susan Campbell Bartoletti (The Boy Who Dared, They Called Themselves the KKK) and Jeannette Ingold (Paper Daughter, The Window, Mountain Solo, and others).

I hope you'll join us for the 1:50 PM session.
