Thanks to a generous partnership with Third Place Books, the Eckstein Library was pleased to host author Alexander Gordon Smith.  Mr. Smith was best known among Eckstein students as the author of the Furnace series.  Following his visit to Eckstein, however, he may better be known as the guy who ended up with his macaroni and cheese (watch the video) all over his shoes after escaping from a haunted house! 

The Eckstein Library has all 4 books in the Furnace series available for checkout.  In addition, if you’d like to learn more about Alexander Gordon Smith and his books, he has a great website! 

Thank you again to Third Place Books and the charming and entertaining Mr. Alexander Gordon Smith!
