Local Author Excites Audience

Author J. Scott Savage inspired students today during an assembly to encourage reading AND writing from the Cherry Creek Crocs. Using student participation, they sketched out a storyline involving a 10-year-old protagonist, giant banana, 5 really boring movies and an attacking picnic basket. Students were encouraged to share their stories through writing in class, as well as to visit him at the Springville Public Library that night. Mr. Savage is the author of the Farworld fantasy series and the Case File 13 monster series. Students received a bookmark, free posters and a personal invitation to email him their questions about writing and reading, promising he answers every email he receives. J. Scott Savage is a local author from Spanish Fork, but has been traveling all over the country promoting literacy and his books.
