Author of the Horn King Series, Brae Wyckoff, visits the Club!

This week we were honored by the visit of Brae Wyckoff, author of The Orb of Truth - the first book of the Horn King Series. Brae, a Boys and Girls Club of Encinitas alumni, shared his inspiring story with the club members and reminded them that they can do anything and be anyone they set out to be as long that they follow their dreams and persevere.

At the end of Brae's visit, I was lucky enough to receive a signed copy of The Orb of Truth - voted #1 Epic Fantasy. I just read the prologue and I'm already hooked!

Also, this week in the Art Shop:

 

We made our own KALEIDOSCOPES!!! And yes, they actually worked!

First, the kids decorated the outside of the cardboard tubes with markers. Next we placed mirrors on the inside, added a smaller tube with some beads inside, some clear discs, etc... and PRESTO a working kaleidoscope was fabricated! The end result was very rewarding.
