Author Rex Ogle speaks to students after winning middle school’s Tournament of Books
In April, middle school librarian Bernie Morrissey hosted a video chat with author Rex Ogle, whose novel, “Free Lunch,” won the middle school’s first Tournament of Books, an event in which books were placed in a tournament bracket and voted on by students. Ogle, who previously worked in comics with stints at Marvel and DC, talked about how he became a writer, how long it takes him to write, his work in comics and his follow-up to “Free Lunch.” He also read from “a story in real time” that he has been writing about a middle schooler’s experience being quarantined during the COVID-19 pandemic. The entire chat is viewable via the embedded YouTube video.
