Students in Grade 4-6 recently had a virtual visit from author Megan Freeman! Students were able to ask the author questions via zoom and discuss her newly-released novel, Alone.  Their written reflections of the book are on display now at Warwick's alongside Freeman's signed copies. "This book has depth and perception. It gives you a look at how different situations affect different people. It was magisterial and very involving," reads one student's passage. Pretty cool!...
