Fire Up for the Evil Laugh Contest!

It's going to be a busy week in the book promo/school visit circuit.  I'll be at Bixby School in Long Beach on Tuesday, then Lowell School the following day (another Long Beach school).  On Thursday I'll be at Flory Academy in Moorpark, and I end the week at Disney School in Burbank.  Whew!  Let's hope I still have a voice after all of that.

When I visit a school, the highlight of the day is when the kids act out one of the Melvin Beederman books, which begins with an Evil Laugh Contest—the best way to choose a villain.  I mean, if you're a bad guy and you can't muster a decent evil laugh, it might be time to find a new line of work.  I once did an Evil Laugh Contest with middle school teachers, and the dean of discipline won.  Coincidence?  I think not!  Greg

Greg Trine’s visit to our school was one of the best author visits we have had!  He had the primary and upper grade kids totally engaged...
