"Christine was an absolute delight to host at RHMS. She put together a well thought-out presentation that was both informative and engaging. Christine patiently answered every single students question that was asked throughout the day. I know myself and students at RHMS are looking forward to reading book #2 in the Dickensen Academy series.

"I think it was a good experience for myself and others to learn about the process of making a book. It was a fascinating to talk to and hear from an experienced writer."
~ Natalie, 5th grader
"Want to get your students motivated to read and write? Our 5th and 6th grade students were completely engaged by Christine Grabowski. She talked about her journey to becoming a published author and how it all started with a simple dream. As she read from her novel, her story came to life and students were transferred to another place. They were also able to ask questions about the writing and publishing process. As we were leaving the presentation, I heard several comments from students who were now eager to begin their own writing careers!"

"I loved how she explained the writing process and how you can go from an idea to a book!"
