EVENTS

Aronson & Budhos Appear at Lesley University: We had a great time giving a talk about "Sugar Changed the World" and waxing eloquent (we hope) about collaborating as authors and creating vivid nonfiction for young adults. MARC ARONSON & MARINA BUDHOS APPEAR ON BOOK-TV Visit to Sudbury, MA where the whole middle school--every teacher, every student- read Ask Me No Questions and discussed it in their classes. Watchung Books, Montclair, New Jersey, Meet the Author for teens and their moms: Nice turnout with teen girls and their mothers--a little texting and the joint grew even more crowded! Book Launch of Tell Us We're Home at Words Bookstore in Maplewood. There were definitely a few nods of recognition at the mention of Ultimate Frisbee, nannies walking up from the train cradling their Dunkin' Donut coffees, a quaint Main Street with evergreens twirled around the lampposts at Christmastime ...

... the bookstore filled with readers eager to listen to the author read and discuss her work."
