Ben Thompson, author of the Guts and Glory and Epic Fails series
Recommended ages: 8+

Author Ben Thompson brings history to life for kids in his Guts and Glory and Epic Fails series. Join us a few days after Wright Brothers Day for this chat about...the Wright brothers! This chat will be based on his book The Wright Brothers: Nose-Diving into History, a "hilarious nonfiction look at two of history's most epic "failures": the Wright brothers, whose countless crashes ultimately led to groundbreaking success."
