Middle Reader Panel with James Bird, Jennifer Blecher & Lisa Stringfellow

Join us for a lively and inspiring Middle Grade Author Panel, featuring middle grade authors Jennifer Blecher, James Bird, and Lisa Stringfellow in conversation with Jean Stehle, school librarian and Boston-based literary influencer. Together, they’ll discuss their books, their writing lives, and the power of stories for young readers.

This event is a wonderful opportunity for students to meet local authors, ask questions, and learn firsthand how books are created. Reading builds empathy, strengthens critical thinking, and fosters imagination and creativity, and this evening is designed to spark that joy and curiosity.

Dessert will be provided.
