Ultimate Author Showdown
It's only March and in lots of places it still feels very much like winter, but here at the STACKS we are already dreaming about Summer! With that in mind, we are happy to announce that the Scholastic Summer Challenge will be kicking off soon with a Live Webcast.
Here's the lowdown - it's gonna be a showdown! Four amazing authors will compete in the Ultimate Author Showdown, a game show all about books. Each author will represent a different category, and YOU can help make up the questions. Think you can stump the authors? Submit your question.

I think Rick Riordan is the greatest author of the century.He wrote the percy jackson series and he is making this new series called Cane.

I've read the Watsons Go to Birmingham as a class project and it was really good! But it gets kinda sad at parts.
