For his Troybery Blitz video, Dave Eggers filmed it in the International Library of Youth Writing, calling on Troy MS students to send him their writing and answering students' questions about THE EYES AND THE IMPOSSIBLE.

TSD MS students enjoyed learning about Michigan WWII history as it related to ENEMIES IN THE ORCHARD from @danavanderlugt.bsky.social during the 4th Annual Troybery Author Blitz. We are grateful for the virtual visit that we were able to record and share with all!

During our last Troybery Author Blitz visit, @katherinemarsh.bsky.social talked about how she doesn't like the term writer's block: "Block sounds negative. It's actually thinking and trying to figure something out." Thanks for sharing about self-kindness and writing being a refuge.

We could have listened to @kielphegley.bsky.social talk for hours about the process of writing STRIKERS! Words of wisdom: "There is value in doing something besides winning." Thanks for sharing your childhood love of hockey and Flint, MI, with us during our Author Blitz.

When asked during our Author Blitz about writing narrative nonfiction, Nicholas Day replied, "Real life is as weird and alive and suspenseful as things you can make up." We loved learning more about the "wonderful, hard to believe, bizarre stories" that led to THE MONA LISA VANISHES.
