Behind the Book Author Takeover STUDENT EDITION with Soman Chainani

OCT

07


They may recognize his name from his best-selling School for Good and Evil series, students will get to hear from Soman Chainani about his new book, Beasts and Beauty, a collection of twelve stories based on familiar fairy tales.  

Soman will outline the book's background, why he chose to write this new collection following the School for Good and Evil series, and how he reimagined each fairy tale to address the anxieties and struggles of today's readers. This background will serve as a springboard into a larger discussion about the craft of writing and Soman's process as an author, ending with answering any questions that students/teachers may have, including the upcoming big-screen adaptation by Netflix of the School for Good and Evil

We hope this event will: 

  • Introduce students to an author they might not already be familiar with allowing for an author/reader relationship to develop.
  • Give students a better understanding of the author's viewpoint on the story to deepen their investment in the book or series.
  • Bring writing to life and, in turn, ignite the inspiration of reading.

We are excited to offer you this event to watch live with your students in the classroom, or if you can't attend live, all registrants will also receive the recording to share with their students.
