Author Alan Gratz, the writer of Refugee, Prisoner B-3087, and Projekt 1065, Samurai Shortstop, and Ban This Book, to name a few, will be visiting Knox Junior High School on Monday, September 17. His visit will help to promote CISD’s Read for a Better Life Day on September 18. All students will be able to attend one of his three presentation throughout the day. We are encouraging all students to wear red and black on the day of his visit to celebrate Read for a Better Life Day and to represent a prominent color scheme in many of Mr. Gratz’s books. Many of Mr. Gratz’s titles are for sale in the library this week. Students may want their own copies for Mr. Gratz to sign so purchase early as there  are a limited amount of copies. Books range in price from $6-16 (paperbacks and hardbacks).
