Authors of Shivers! To Visit  Santa Rita Elementary

We are pleased to welcome the authors of Shivers!: The Pirate Who's Afraid Of Everything, Annabeth Bondor-Stone and Connor White, to visit Santa Rita Elementary for a private event. 

About the book from Harper Collins: Meet Shivers, the scaredy-est pirate to ever sail the Seven Seas. Along with his best friend, Margo, and his loyal fishmate (yes, you read that correctly), Albee, Shivers battles a giant squid, discovers hidden treasures, and saves his parents from the clutches of evil. (Yep, that's right: evil!) 

 You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll never eat snails again. So put on your pantaloons, batten down the hatches, and join Shivers on his first (but still very dangerous) adventure. Comic book-like illustrations bring Shivers to life and invite even the most reluctant readers to join the adventure. 

 Best for ages 7-10.
