We’re excited to introduce you to our August Author of the Month, Anna!

What is your favorite thing you’ve written recently? Tell us a bit about it!

In the first week of summer camp, I wrote about a crazy school assignment and I think it was one of my best ones this summer.  It’s the longest and most detailed. A group of kids who are really good at science research black holes and they go to space and accidentally go in a black hole, and they find out that black holes are like portals across the whole galaxy.

In the second week of summer camp, I wrote a backstory of a girl who went to first grade and then moved, and she had to learn a new language and go to a different school. This week I wrote about a girl, and she and her friends organized a spy club where they spy on people – mostly on bullies. They stop them from bullying someone.
