Allen?s programs was so very good. He captured the attention for the whole student body. They were engaged and had lots of really good questions for him. One of the teachers had her reading group read his book beforehand and they were excited to meet him and have a picture with him. If was really interesting to hear how he daydreams his books and comes up with both plots and characters. He has a new book coming out this fall and this character is modeled after him as both youth and adult. He left a big impact on the Westbrook community.
