2)
Lunch for two with renowned author Margaret
Peterson Haddix. Margaret Peterson Haddix is, without a doubt, one of the most popular author’s of
books for children and teens. With 24 books to her name, Margaret clearly knows how to turn on young
readers. Found, Running Out of Time, The House on the Gulf, Double Identity, Because of Anya, Among the Hidden and
