SCHOOLS
This is Atlantic Beach Elementary, where I first fell in love with school. I come from a family of teachers and want to make it as easy as possible to incorporate my books into your classrooms or libraries. Here are some activities, suggestions, curriculum guides, and a role playing mystery game you can play. A huge shout out to Simon & Schuster who has gone all in on helping create Educator Case Files for The Sherlock Society and the Classroom Digitial Dossier for City Spies.

As far as school visits go, I love them, but I've had to dramatically curtail them now that I'm writing two books a years. I only do a handful each semester. If you interested, you can reach out to me at visit@jamesponti.com but I apologize in advance that I probably can't schedule it.
Host a Mystery at School
I've written a mystery that takes place in your school library! A spy has been posing as a substitute teacher and smuggling secrets in library books. Now your students have to solve the case and discover who among them has been helping him out. It's an all-new way to get students to investigate your media center. All you have to do is download the two files below and you'll have everything you need. (Average time to play the mystery game is 40-45 minutes.)
