My children love books! One of the good things that we do to keep their passion with reading is to have them meet different authors and hear their insights about their writing. All of the authors that we have met, encourage the children to keep reading and writing.
Just recently, my boys met each others favourite authors. My older son is quite a fan of
Rick Riordan since been introduced to his writing through the
Percy Jackson series in Grade 4. Since then, he has read quite a few more of Riordan's books and learn more about mythology. During the evening with Rick Riordan, my younger son got a signed copy of
Magnus Chase and is now quite a fan!
My younger son is quite a vivacious reader and we also met his favourite author,
James Dashner, of the
Maze Runner series. The books are a bit mature for him but he reads a few years above his grade level and a lot of those books have serious themes. The evening with James Dashner was more of a question and answer interview. My boys had an opportunity to meet him up close and got his newest book,
The Fever Code, personally signed. I also learned that he had another series for slightly younger readers call
The 13th Reality so that made a great Christmas present this year! Both my boys have already finish reading the book and would like the rest of the series!
