Bestselling Author Max Brallier Visits O'Neal Students
Students in grades 2-4 at The O'Neal School enjoyed a special visit from bestselling author Max Brallier on Wednesday, November 4, thanks to a partnership with The Country Bookshop.

Students had the opportunity to learn firsthand about storytelling, imagination, and what it takes to become a professional author.
A #1 New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Brallier has written more than 50 books. In addition to The Last Kids on Earth, he is the creator of the Eerie Elementary series, the graphic novel Poptropica: Mystery of the Map, and Galactic Hot Dogs. He has also written books and stories for popular brands and franchises including LEGO, Adventure Time, Regular Show, and Steven Universe.
The visit provided an engaging and memorable experience for O'Neal's young readers, encouraging a love of literature while offering a behind-the-scenes look at the world of publishing and creative writing.
