Author Visit: Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro
9/29/25
We were so fortunate to attend the special BookPeople / Texas Book Festival event featuring authors Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro as they discussed their new book The Sun and the Star: A Nico di Angelo Adventure. The event took place at the AISD Performing Arts Center, and the excitement in the room was contagious!
Students were thrilled to see their favorite authors in person, and the joy on their faces—cheering, clapping, even making heart signs from their seats—showed just how meaningful it was to be part of this experience. Being surrounded by so many kids who love books was truly inspiring, and it made a lasting impact on our readers.
A huge thank you to Sadler Means YWLA for helping us secure free tickets so our students could share in this unforgettable literary celebration!
