Battle of the Books - Santa Barbara
Tomorrow I'm heading to Santa Barbara for Battle of the Books.  I'm not sure what this is, but it sounds like some kind of cage fight.  You know, where they invite an author, lock him in a cage with a bunch of third grader to battle it out with books.  Not to worry—I'm bringing along a view volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica.  "Take that, short people!"  Whap!  That's the plan anyway.  Or maybe I'll bring along Harry Potter #5, in  hardcover.  I hope those third graders come prepared for battle.  I'll let you know how it goes.  Greg

Greg Trine is a truly inspirational writer and speaker. When he visited my class, he captivated my students with stories of his challenges and successes as a writer, inspiring them with lessons of perseverance and encouragement. The activities he worked on with them showed how they could embody traits of character just as noble and just as funny as Melvin Beederman's. He was very entertaining, and the evil laugh contest was a hoot!
