"Just as she does in her novels in verse (which she writes, in part, for the large amount of white space poems leave on a page, encouraging even reluctant readers to pick up a book), K.A. Holt's presentation to the middle schoolers of Cyrus Peirce and the Nantucket New School was full of movement and energy," shares Kaley. Kaley Kokomoor, incoming NBF Executive Director, attended the event with a packed auditorium of enthusiastic students and teachers. She is also the author of From You to Me, Gnome-a-geddon, and several other books for young readers, including I Wonder, a picture book illustrated by Kenard Pak. Kari Anne Holt is the award-winning author of many middle grade novels-in-verse including Ben Bee and the Teacher Griefer, Redwood & Ponytail, Knockout, House Arrest, and Rhyme Schemer. Holt was the Nantucket Book Foundation's Visiting Author to Cyrus Peirce Middle School in April 2022.
