Eoin Colfer Touring US
Eoin Colfer, author of the multi-million-selling Artemis Fowl series loves meeting his young readers so much that he makes his public appearances an event.
His recent book tour of Britain wasn’t a simple Q&A session, but a fully scripted performance:
When I … see the kids’ faces and how excited they are, I remember from teaching how much of a big deal it is for a kid just to ask a question, even in a classroom. It’s their little moment and you can’t short-change them
The Irish author was recommended to me by my friends at home, Irish parents, when his Artemis Fowl book became a global success, and I’ve been enjoying them since.
The Irish author from Wexford is taking a break from Artemis Fowl with his latest book, Half-Moon Investigations, in which you’ll find a differnet Ireland. Colfer is in Florida right now on his US tour promoting it. Let me know if he comes to Kansas City.
Speaking of the Irish President’s and of Irish writers for children, did you know that there is a President of Ireland’s site for kids?
