Shorecrest Lower and Middle School students enjoyed a visit from author Mat Heagerty. He has written graphic novels including, “Lumberjackula,” “Martian Ghost Centaur,” “Unplugged and Unpopular,” and his newest work, “Indoor Kid.” Additionally, Mat teaches a writing course at Boise State University. Mat is dyslexic and struggled in school; now he often travels the country talking to students about the strengths of learning differences. A selection of Lower School students who have expressed interest in making comic books/graphic novels took part in a creative session led by Mat. He explained the collaborative process his ideas go through with many team members to become a book.
