Virtual Author Visit!
Sherman Middle and Piner are excited to welcome Young Adult author Alan Gratz! On October 26th, Alan Gratz will be visiting with our students about his new book Ground Zero. Ground Zero is the story of Brandon, who is trapped in the World Trade Center on 9/11. Alan Gratz is the New York Times bestselling author of seventeen novels for young readers, including Ground Zero, Refugee, Allies, Grenade, Prisoner B-3087, and Projekt 1065. A Knoxville, Tennessee native, Alan is now a full-time writer living in Asheville, North Carolina with his wife and daughter.
