Bestselling author/illustrator to visit NJSHS

NJSHS is excited to welcome author Jarrett Krosoczka on Nov. 20. After a presentation to the entire school, he will conduct two workshops — an Illustrators workshop and a Writers workshop — to smaller groups. We will also hold a raffle for several students to receive one of his books!

From his website: Jarrett J. Krosoczka, known since boyhood as "JJK," is the New York Times bestselling author/illustrator behind more than forty books for young readers, including his wildly popular "Lunch Lady" graphic novels, select volumes of the "Star Wars: Jedi Academy" series, and "Hey, Kiddo", which was a National Book Award Finalist. Krosoczka creates books with humor, heart, and deep respect for his young readers — qualities that have made his titles perennial favorites on the bookshelves of homes, libraries, and bookstores over the past twenty years.
