Tony Medina, a poet and graphic novelist for both adult and young readers, came to TCS today for a insightful Conversation With. He discussed his graphic novel “I Am Alphonso Jones”, a book about a young man who is a victim of a shooting by an off-duty police officer. The students read the novel prior to Mr. Medina’s visit, so they were able to ask questions and gain special understanding of the book.
“He was so energetic! I love a person that’s so interesting such as he because he kept me pulled in the entire time. It was never a dull moment with Tony Medina in the room. I would love to learn more about him,” said sophomore Tyleiah.
Mr. Medina was able to sign the student’s copies of the novel as well. Aside from discussing “I Am Alphonso Jones”, he also read his writing and select stories from other writers. The students had the opportunity to ask about the life of a professional author. I was a great look inside a creative career!
