Have Robert Liparulo Visit Your School

“Our sixth graders discovered your series first and it spread like wildfire! Now the seventh and eighth grades are going crazy for them! I’ve never seen them reading like this. Thank you!”

—Alexandra Seabourn, Lewis Palmer Middle School, Monument, Colorado

“Awesome!! You won’t believe how excited these kids are about your series! Your Dreamhouse Kings books are now required reading here! And your visit got the whole school buzzing. Thank you!”

—Bentley Brown, Teacher, Parkview Baptist School, Baton Rouge, LA

“Your visit to our school was one of our best events in the last few years. Our students and teachers were so impressed with your genuinely friendly manner and your obvious care and concern for them. We are truly excited by the response to your books.”

—Rick Slenk, AACS, Annapolis, MD

The Dreamhouse Kings series has been approved by the Accelerated Reader Program and Scholastic.

The Dreamhouse story has been a big hit with schools and book clubs. To say “Thank you,” we’ve put together some programs to give students a more meaningful experience with these books:

School visits

Over the past year, I’ve visited schools all around the country. I generally address an assembly, as well as visit individual classes. I talk about writing as a career, how I came to write Dreamhouse Kings, and how to tap into your passion (for any vocation) at an early age. We’ve put together a package that includes a copy of House of Dark Shadows and all you need to know to bring me to your school and ways to raise funds for the event. See the link below to request more information.

Here’s an article from the Valley News about a recent visit to Margarita Middle in Temecula, Calif: Click here.

Calls to classes and book groups

Another popular event. Once your class or group reads a book or two from the Dreamhouse series (or one of my other books), I’ll phone in to answer questions.

Classroom reading

We’re looking for schools that are interested in using the Dreamhouse books in the classroom. Each book comes with discussion questions and have been approved by the Accelerated Readers Program and Scholastic. Information packages include a copy of House of Dark Shadows, testimonials from educators, and ways in which students can enrich their reading experience through writing assignments and history lessons.

The Dream the Scene Contest

Get your students thinking about history and storytelling by asking them to tell me where in history the King family should go—and what they find there. If I select the idea, I’ll write it into a future Dreamhouse Kings book or short story and give the winner credit for the idea and an iPod Nano.

You could make it a two-fer trip and visit Christina in Forsyth and then hop to us at Carmel ES in neighboring Cherokee County, Ga.

Sorry about the delay in responding. It looks like the school visits for the next year are close to booked up, and I’ll be spending most of my time in Texas, California and Colorado. If that changes, I’ll post it here. I’d love to find a way to see all of you!

Wow! I just stumbled on the first book looking for a series to read with my 7th graders and I fell in love with it! I couldn’t put the book down…I finished at 7:30 and ran to Mardels to get the next book before it closed at 8:00! I live in Arlington, TX and am wondering where you’ll be in Texas? I can’t wait to start the next book…here in about ten minutes! Thanks!

Hi Stacy! I’m glad you liked House of Dark Shadows. I hope the rest of the series fulfills your expectations, I’ll be in Houston Jan. 24-28 and maybe the Dallas area in March (if a northern California school doesn’t solidify soon). Worst case, if your students read any of the books, I’d be happy to call in and talk to them. Write me at robert@liparulo,com. I’m sure we can do something. Take care!
