The seventh grade book club at Oak Park Independent School, under the guidance of teacher Kate Thompson, recently had a surprise Zoom visit from two well-known authors.

The club had been reading the New York Times best seller, “I Will Always Write Back,” a true story about two pen pals, Caitlin and Martin, from Pennsylvania and Zimbabwe.

The students invited the authors to the virtual book club.

Caitlin accepted, and surprised the students by bringing Martin to the April 27 meeting.

The students were excited and asked amazing questions during the hour-long meeting.
