Your Mira Costa Library is pleased to announce that Author Len Vlahos is visiting Mira Costa onTuesday, February 25, 2014, and will be speaking about his craft at two sessions during Period 5 and Period 6 in the library.
Mr. Vlahos has just published his first book, The Scar Boys. The book is written as a college admission essay in which Harry Jones describes what it has been like growing up with the hideous scars all over his body and how his life changes when he and his first friend form a punk rock band together. Music lovers will enjoy noting that the title of each chapter is the taken from a song title.
Students can sign up to attend one of the sessions during Period 5 or 6. See Mrs. Lofton in the library for a permission form or print out a form from this link. No permission form is needed if you have an unassigned period.
The library has some copies of Scar Boys to borrow, but we encourage you to purchase your own copy to enjoy and keep. Mr. Vlahos will be signing books right after school on February 25. We have arranged with {pages} bookstore, our local Manhattan Beach independent book vendor, to provide the books, and a portion of your purchases will also benefit our library. You can visit {pages} to purchase a copy in advance, or order from {pages} online to have your copy delivered to MCHS. You will also be able to purchase books on the day of the visit.
