• Grade Five Event
• Author

Grade Five students from West Vancouver schools are invited 
to attend a presentation by author Kenneth Oppel. 
Ken is the author of the phenomenally popular Silverwing 
saga. His novel Airborn won the 2004 Governor General’s 
Award for Children’s Literature.  
BOOKtopia is thrilled to be bringing Ken from Boston for 
this presentation.
