Lauren Tarshis, author of the I Survived series of books for intermediate grade readers, made a visit to our school, Tuesday, to talk about how she became a writer. She also discussed her process of writing for Scholastic Books. Lauren's book series began with the sinking of the Titanic, and continues within the historical fiction genre. Other books address kids surviving actual historical events and natural disasters. Her next installment in the series is to be about the Joplin tornado of May 22, 2011.
