    AUTHOR MARSHA SKRYPUCH TO DISCUSS HER WORKS AT WATERTOWN PUBLIC LIBRARY


    Author Marsha Skrypuch will discuss her work in a presentation
    entitled "Writing About the Armenian Genocide: Connecting with Young
    Readers," on Saturday, April 18, 2015, at 1:00 p.m., in the Watertown
    Savings Bank Meeting Room at the Watertown Public Library, 123 Main
    Street, Watertown, MA. This program is co-sponsored by St. Stephen's
    Armenian Elementary School, the Watertown Public Library, and the
    National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR).

    Marsha Skrypuch is well known for her books that show the effects of
    20th century war and genocide from the perspective of young
    people. Her nineteen books have garnered more than sixty awards and
    honors. She has written four young adult novels set during the
    Armenian Genocide as well as two books that approach the topic for
    younger children.

    Her newest novel, Dance of the Banished, is set during the Armenian
    Genocide but shown from the perspective of Zeynep, an Alevi Kurd
    witness and rescuer. Kirkus Reviews calls it "An eye-opening exposé of
    historical outrages committed in two countries, with intriguing
    glimpses of a minority group that is not well-known in the Americas."
