Kelly knights loved hosting author Dan Gemeinhart last week. Superfans, who have each read several of Mr. Gemeinhart's books, earned tickets to attend a sneak preview event and an autographed copy of The Midnight Children. It was a day to celebrate reading, writing, and working hard to achieve goals.
