Testimonials

“The students at Southside High School enjoyed the video tour. This was our first foray into an author web conference. Mr. Carman quickly established a rapport with this virtual community, so it was like visiting with a friend. He interjected a little humor into our visit which held the teen’s attention. Discussion is possible
whether in person or on the screen. Thanks again for giving us part of your valuable time.”
Mrs. Karen Couch and Mrs. Brittany Stubblefield, Library Media Specialists

“We appreciate the time you take to inspire young students. We are all awaiting the new books coming out and are looking forward to you finding time to come to Iowa. (hint hint) Thanks again!”
Janelle Thompson, Van Meter Elementary

“The virtual tour session with Patrick was awesome! He was very engaging with the students and they were mesmerized, not only by him but also by the technology that made this cross-country visit possible. Scheduling was hassle-free and you were very flexible with our possible snow problems. Thank you again for a great experience. Patrick’s books will be in even greater demand than they were before!”
Deb Machonis, Librarian at Ephrata Middle School

“Patrick Carman’s Virtual Tour was an amazing experience for both myself and my 5th grade students. Patrick holds “Rock Star” status in our classroom and the chance to see him and talk to him was an experience my students will never forget.”
David O’Neil, 5th Grade Teacher

“My students can’t stop talking about our virtual classroom visit with Patrick Carman. He acknowledged each student individually and answered each question graciously. Patrick made my students laugh and captured their hearts to read. It was a powerful moment that my students and I will continue to share and cherish!”
Courtney Gibson, 8th Grade Teacher

“My students were thrilled and they could not believe how “cool” he was. They still cannot believe they actually got to talk to an author, let alone one they love and have read. I think many of them were in shock that he was actually talking to them–isn’t technology wonderful! Patrick was great with my students and they are so excited for 13 Days to Midnight and The Trackers.”
-Kimberly Youngs, Mountain Ridge H.S.

   The virtual tour with Patrick was awesome! Our kids loved it! He was very personable and the kids enjoyed his humor. He gave the students a “look inside” what Patrick thinks, and some of why he writes what he does. We will talk about this “tour” for a long time. Thank you, Patrick!!

   This was an excellent experience for us! My students can’t enough of your books and now they feel as if they have a personal connection to you. As an educator, I am not only impressed with your innovative books, but also by your willingness to give back to your readers in this forum. Thank you so much for taking the time to meet with us.
