I LOVE reading! and reading to and with others, especially children. As a Principal and educator of 50+ years, I always read in my classroom, as Tutor, volunteer teacher around the world and as a Principal to large groups of students at a time. Additionally, I was trained via classes at the Los Angeles Music Center on story telling methods. Who doesn't like a good mystery book? As a precocious reader I was known as Lady Snoop in my younger years and friends sometime still call me that today. I love reading a good mystery and hope my enthusiasm rubs off on each young Sleuth who enrolls with me in Sleuths Mystery Adventure Summer Book Club.
