Tuesday, March 10, 2015
6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
John Steinbeck Library
Meet Ronald W. Lemley Macias, author of the book "Xavier and the Bully," at the John Steinbeck Library in March.
When the roof of their old school falls in, Xavier and his friends are transferred to a new school at the edge of the city. Xavier had driven by it a few times with his father, and it looked like a big white castle surrounded by gardens! They wonder if a group of Spanish-speaking kids from the farm lands will get along in the new place. What will the students be like? Xavier hopes that they won’t be creepy or mean.
