Young adult author Frank Beddor stopped off at RMS on Wednesday, September 26, for a visit while on a national tour to promote his Looking Glass Wars series. 

Also a Hollywood film producer, Mr. Beddor dazzled about 50 eighth graders with his vivid description of the plot of his series and reminiscences about how he got his ideas to create a new world for the Alice in Wonderland characters.  

The first two books in this trilogy are The Looking Glass Wars and Seeing Redd, with the third to be published sometime in 2009.   This visit was made possible by Decatur's own Little Shop of Stories and Penquin Press.  We wish that all the RMS students could have heard this author, but we are looking forward to offering more author visits in the future.
