Norman parent’s questions stop author’s visit to school

From The Oklahoman:

A visit by a best-selling author to a Norman middle school was canceled after a parent questioned the content of one of the author’s books.

Author Ellen Hopkins was scheduled to speak to eighth-graders at Whittier Middle School today about her career, writing process and books.

Hopkins is the author of several New York Times best-selling books for young adults. She was notified Thursday her visit was canceled because a parent at the school requested a review of her book “Glass.”. . .

. . . Whittier librarian Karin Perry, who won the author visit in a charity auction, has scheduled an off-campus event tonight for students and their parents who would still like to hear Hopkins speak.
