Bayville Intermediate School students welcomed New York Times bestselling author Jen Calonita to the auditorium on March 21 to learn about her journey to becoming an author. During her visit, Calonita talked to students about her writing process and their ideas for writing their own stories. To help share her passion for storytelling, she also donated a copy of her new book, “Isle of Ever,” which is set on Long Island, to the school library.
After her presentation, Calonita visited her cousin, fifth grader Gio Calonita, and his classmates to show them some of her techniques for beating writers’ block.
