Bestselling author Tristan Bancks (Two Wolves, Tom Weekly) is offering a free virtual tour to Brisbane schools for his latest release, Nit Boy, about Lewis Snow, a kid with the worst case of nits in world history and Ned, a nit that lives on his head. The virtual tour is an exclusive fifteen-minute video that Tristan has prepared for students in years 3-5 (core age, but would suit grades 2-6) in lieu of his usual book release tour to Brisbane. The video features a reading of the first two chapters, a fun quiz from the book and a section on how Heath McKenzie, the illustrator, and Tristan developed the characters, illustrations and the 3D-animated book trailer. It’s a great way to give students insight into the writing and character creation process while having lots of fun. And students will have the opportunity to buy personally signed books afterwards should they choose to do so! If you would like to take advantage of this Free Virtual Schools Tour and order books please contact the Speakers Ink Office today! |
