Newbery Award-winning author Avi and The Mariners' Museum invite you to join in a conversation about Avi's new book, Iron Thunder. Avi performed much of the historical research for Iron Thunder here at our very own Mariners' Museum Library. The story concerns the U.S.S. Monitor, the famous Civil War ironclad ship. The Mariners’ Museum is the repository for all of the artifacts from the shipwreck of the U.S.S. Monitor. Avi will discuss his writing, the book, his research, and the questions that your students have for him.Classes will receive advance proof copies of the book - you'll be among the first to read Iron Thunder!
Classes that participate are expected to read Iron Thunder before the program date. Classes will follow the ASK system, to streamline questions. The questions will then be asked in a round-robin format.
