Classes are booked to see the presentation, but there is still room for a few more individual students. If you are interested, please sign up in the library!
Walters, like fellow writer Eric Wilson, started his writing career while teaching school. It was his way of encouraging his reluctant readers and writers to become more involved in literature. Since his first book in 1993 he has gone on to write more than 70 novels for young adults. Some deal with contemporary historical fiction—Run (Terry Fox), Safe as Houses (Hurricane Hazel), We all Fall Down (World Trade Centre disaster), while others deal with topics related to social activism—Shattered (soup kitchens and war), Rebound (being wheelchair bound), etc. His books have won numerous awards. We have 30 of Walters's books on our library shelves and more in our English textbook and lit circle collections.
