Our featured speaker was author Margaret
Peterson Haddix who wrote the Among the Hidden series, Running
Out of Time, Don’t You Dare Read This, Mrs. Dunphrey and other
books. She discussed the many ways that her books can be used by teachers.
She shared useful ideas that educators can take back to school, and
ended her session with a time for questions and autographs. All who
came to Books and Brunch enjoyed learning about the Library’s
resources and networking with other educators. We look forward to
another great program next year.
Don't
you dare read this, Mrs. Dunphrey
 by Margaret Peterson Haddix
Tish's journal is private and personal--and you won't
be able to put it down. Tish writes candidly, and privately, about
taking care of her brother, living on-and-off with her violent father,
and coping with her irresponsible mother--until finally, she realizes
that Mrs. Dunphrey, her new English teacher, might just be her only
hope. An ALA Best Book for Young Adults.
