Printz Honor Award author Lisa Fipps takes us behind the scenes of her powerful debut novel, Starfish, about Ellie, a resilient middle schooler who is bullied about her weight. Lisa Fipps' poignant novel confronts fat-shaming head-on, and will speak to anyone who's been made to feel "less than." Join us on Zoom as Lisa gives tweens and their families a look into her writing process. For 5th to 8th-graders and their families.
