Since my blog posts today seems to be media focused (books and movies), here is one more very special book debuting this month right here in Iowa and all over the world. Our very own Jill Hathaway, a literacy teacher at the high school, has had her Teen Fiction novel published and it is getting great reviews. In speaking with Jill, she wasn't so sure this book was age appropriate for our young middle school kids, but thought 14 and up might be a good age range for her target readers. CommonSenseMedia.org has not reviewed it yet as they do not review a lot of books, but many other sites and reviewers have. In fact, just today the teen magazine "Seventeen" published an online review of her book. You can read it here!
Mrs. Hathaway will be at the West Des Moines Barnes and Noble on March 31st from 2-4 p.m. for her book launch. You can read about the details here! on the Barnes and Noble website of events.
I am so excited for Mrs. Hathaway as I know she worked very hard for this, all while balancing her growing family and her job as an educator. Carlisle is honored to have her working with our students every day, many of them hoping to be published authors themselves. Now they get to watch a teacher of theirs reach her dreams and go through the process and continue to inspire teens she comes into contact with to do the same. Congrats Jill and I am looking forward to your book launch and all the success that comes with it. Parents and teens who read this blog....look for "Slide" on your local bookshelf and give it a read and enjoy the ride!
