I had never been to an author's event. Due to my schedule, I managed to miss all events thus far at the college this year, except my class, of course. When the professor asked who wanted to attend a lecture by a children's author, I raised my hand and swore to myself no matter what, I was making this one.
It was awesome. Jack Gantos is a phenomenal speaker and gave an extraordinary presentation. I felt very guilty that I had not read his books yet, especially after looking around and realizing I was one of the only students who did not bring a book for him to sign. Note to self: next author's event, bring a book for the author to sign!
Instead of giving a replay of his performance and part of his biography, I'm going to include a link to his web site, so you can investigate on your own. As for me, I am adding "Hole in My Life" to my must read list.
