SPOOKY WRITING WORKSHOP: Before he signs copies of his books, JA White will be conducting a free workshop where kids will learn what makes scary stories different than other types of fiction, how to generate suspense, and the importance of setting and tone. There will also be a writing exercise involving an evil box and lots of bad jokes. In the end, participants will come up with a summary for a spooky story that they can write at home! -RSVP TO ATTEND THE SPOOKY WRITING WORKSHOP -
ABOUT THE BOOK

Cordelia soon realizes she’s not the only one who can see the ghosts; her new friend Benji can too. Together with super-smart Agnes, the trio are determined to find out why the ghosts are there, and whether there’s a way to set them free.
But the school was created with more sinister intentions, and someone is willing to go to extreme lengths to ensure that the ghosts remain trapped forever.
J. A. White's Nightbooks has been praised as "equally twisting and terrifying" in a School Library Journal starred review. Kirkus added: “A thrilling tale of magic that is just scary enough.” Middle grade readers will love J. A. White's Shadow School series as well!
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
J. A. White is the author of The Thickety: A Path Begins. He lives in New Jersey with his wife, three sons, and a hamster named Ophelia that doesn't like him very much. When he's not making up stories, he teaches a bunch of kids how to make up stories (along with math and science and other important stuff). He wishes dragons were real because it would be a much cooler way to get to work.
