High Road to Humanity with Nancy Yearout
The Magic Begins with J.L. Kimmel
Grade 6 students of Holy Cross Academy recently enjoyed the adventure fantasy tale The Yawning Rabbit River Chronicle written by local writer and artist Janine Kimmel of Locust, New Jersey. The students were thoroughly amused by the array of mystical and haunting characters that fuel the novel. The twists and turns of the novel captivated their interest as they traveled along in their own imagination with the characters themselves.The novel was a welcoming escape during the onset and uncertainties of the closing of school and home quarantine. Students were guided through the novel by their teacher Mrs. Maryjane Gallo, with related comprehension and discussion questions.
