In August 2021, eight young students from the CFA Homeschool took on the challenge to write their first books. In three months, these homeschoolers aged 10-13 finished their manuscripts under the Book Writers Club. This December 18, they are launching their books via Facebook Live. (RSVP here!)
Who are these amazing youngsters? Let’s get to know them:
