Newbery Luncheon featuring Adam Gidwitz

In preparation for our Newbery Luncheon, we read The Inquisitor's Tale, by Adam Gidwitz. On the day of the celebration, Mr. Gidwitz joined the fifth-graders to discuss the characters and plot of the book, and to answer the girls' questions about the book, the Middle Ages, and the writing process. After meeting with the girls, Mr. Gidwitz joined parents and students at the luncheon, keeping us all entertained with his hilarious stories and amazing insight. This is a day we won't soon forget, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the effort and energy that the girls put into preparing for this special day.
