Can a Beverly Hills teen survive without a cell phone, Internet or TV? …Edna will find out.
Edna In The Desert author Maddy Lederman visited Carle Place High School where students read the novel over the summer. They talked about Edna and Johnny, social media and the desert, and then participated in a writing workshop emphasizing the use of setting in story-telling.
The students asked smart questions and came up with fascinating settings in the workshop: An underground cave that has a pond filled with bio-luminescent fish, a scrumptious Candyland, an old house with creaky floors and an abandoned insane asylum, just to name a few!
Afterwards, Maddy signed books for students while they enjoyed Pineapple Upsidedown Cake, a treat from the book.
Please note: Maddy and Honors English teacher Melissa Mehling did not plan the Western dress theme!
