Bestselling Author Shares Key West Adventures & Writing Secrets to Students
Three-Time Newberry Honor-winning and New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Holm takes a question from Key West Montessori Charter School student Zoe Barras after a presentation that blended her personal family lore with the rich history of our island. Holm’s latest novel “Full of Beans” and her multi-award-winning “Turtle in Paradise” take place during the Great Depression in Key West, making them great educational tools as well as wonderful adventure reads for elementary students. The special event was organized by Books & Books and the charter school’s book fair committee to further promote literacy and a love of reading.
