Calling all James Patterson FansOctober 28, 2009 Okay, that must mean I'm calling all of you because you must be a fan of an author who has done so much for our students and our profession. I'm always looking for something free for my students and you need to read to the bottom of this "buzz release" for the AASL conference to see what you can get. See you in Charlotte and I'd better be one of the first 1,000! International bestselling author JAMES PATTERSON opens the AASL 2009 conference Friday, November 6, at 8:00 AM. Mr. Patterson has thrilled, chilled and romanced readers of all ages for over two decades. His MAXIMUM RIDE and DANIEL X books are teen favorites around the country and have been nominated for state awards from coast to coast. Mr. Patterson is a champion of reading and his new readers’ advisory website, www.ReadKiddoRead.com is a great resource for librarians, parents, and teachers alike in helping kids find the perfect book. As a special gift, the first one thousand attendees at Mr. Patterson’s address will receive an advance readers copy of his next great action adventure for teens, WITCH & WIZARD. Don’t miss out on this wonderful chance to hear one of America’s favorite authors. Posted by Diane Chen on October 28, 2009 | Comments (7)

In response to: Calling all James Patterson Fans NANCY WERLIN commented: Nope. I am emphatically not a fan, Diane. The man doesn't write his own books! For me, that's enough said. Sorry.

In response to: Calling all James Patterson Fans Diane commented: What? Doesn't write his own books? I haven't heard that. All I knew was reading Max's series with The Angel Experiment, etc. and seeing how much the students enjoyed his books. I know the illustrious Judy Freeman does most of the writing and reviewing for ReadKiddoRead but James is providing the funding and the passion behind the site. Are you going to AASL? Let's chat. Also, my students have asked me to find out all the Nancy Werlin books because now they are hooked on you. What's new?
