Secrets a hit at Celentano

Celentano School recently asked J.K. Rowling to make space for Connecticut’s own Tony Abbott, an author who has published more than 60 books of fiction for younger readers, including the fantasy series, “The Secrets of Droon,” which have sold more than 4.5 million copies. During his visit to Celentano, Abbott, who donated his time, spoke to students and signed copies of his books, school officials said. Shown here with Abbott are students Keara Northrop, at front, Gizela Negron, and holding the book, Kameron Greene.
