Letters About Literature is a reading and writing contest for students in grades 4-12. Students are asked to read a book, poem or speech and write to the author (living or dead) about how the book affected them. Letters are entered by tens of thousands of students from across the country and are judged on a state and national level each year.
Julia Kilroy is an 8th grade student at the Whitinsville Christian School, submitted a letter to Ben Carson after reading his autobiography Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story.
