Rita joins us to share her powerful and funny new book, Gone Crazy in Alabama, a companion to the award-winning One Crazy Summer and P.S. Be Eleven.

As part of our mission to ignite a love of reading and good books in under-served Boston classrooms, Wondermore will sponsor Rita’s visits to two lucky Boston schools while she’s in town.
