ACARC is thrilled to have Torrey Maldonado speak at our Fall hybrid event! Torrey is a middle school teacher in NYC and the best selling author of Secret Saturdays, Tight, What Lane? and Hands. In fact, Torrey’s most recent book was selected as this year’s Global Read Aloud choice for middle schoolers and was featured on CBS Good Morning. Torrey writes the lives of boys and is known for writing quick rollercoaster novels.

Come join us to be inspired by Torrey, as well as learn more about the Global Read Aloud. Discover the joy of teaching reading and readers beyond the programs. Bring your colleagues to the Bethlehem Central Middle School Library or join us online to engage with Torrey virtually. In-person participants will receive our ACARC tote and have the opportunity to win one of Torrey’s books.
