We are thrilled to announce that our special guest author at this year's Newbery Luncheon is Mr. Adam Gidwitz! Mr. Gidwitz is the author of the 2017 Newbery Medal Honor book, The Inquisitor's Tale. Our luncheon will be held on Wednesday, March 13, 2019, at 12:00 noon, in the Bryn Mawr Lower School multipurpose room. Each girl may invite one guest (a parent, grandparent, or special friend). You can find more information about Mr. Gidwitz on his blog, www.adamgidwitz.com.
To prepare for this special day, the girls in fifth-grade will spend several weeks studying the John Newbery Medal, as well as previous winners of this prestigious award. Here is a bulletin board of their cover designs for the books that won from 1988 through last year:
We will also read The Inquisitor's Tale in class. Students have the option to order their own copy of the book, which can be signed by Mr. Gidwitz when he visits. Information is going home today about this opportunity.
