Darren Shan's Visit to Skokie
May 11, 2004
More
than three hundred students from Old Orchard Junior High, Fairview South, East
Prairie, Oliver McCracken, and King Lab schools met bestselling author Darren Shan during his very special visit to Skokie Public Library. Shan is
well known among junior high readers for his popular Cirque Du Freak fiction series. This growing collection of horror novels tells the tale of
an ordinary schoolboy who joins the bizarre Cirque Du Freak 
traveling troupe
and enters the world of vampires and evil forces.
Students enjoyed hearing Shan speak about his books, his love of horror films, and other funny tales he had to share. At the morning presentation, Shan invited a few students to participate in a scene from one of the Cirque Du Freak books. It was a great day for the students and Library staff. Darren was so much fun and we wish him continued success with his writing career.
Take a look at Shan's note and photos from the day, and then be sure to visit Shanville on the Web to learn more about Darren Shan, his books, and the Cirque Du Freak series!
