Bookfair Brings Out Young Local Authors:

The Barnes & Noble on the Third Street Promenade hosted students from Castle Heights Elementary School for Bookfair. Several students in each class at Castle Heights were chosen to read their own work for one minute at the store.

First grader Amanda Toothman chose her latest work, A Homework Machine:

“I wish that I can invent a machine that does my homework. It looks like a person but it is a machine. A homework machine is made to do kids’ homework. I want a homework machine to do my homework for me.”
