Author Mac Barnett — Wednesday, Jan. 30; School Library
WES is thrilled to announce that author Mac Barnett is coming to visit our 1st - 4th grade readers! His latest, Kid Spy, is a hilarious mystery series that takes readers on a whirlwind trip across Europe and through history. Mac Barnett combines true events and real people (including the Queen of England and a notorious jewel thief) with funny and rueful memories of growing up in California in the 1980’s. He gives these stories just the right amount of intriguing facts and suspense while keeping readers laughing from start to finish.
