Fourth graders at Manetuck Elementary School had a special visit from a young, local author on Jan. 3. Meghan Miller, a junior who attends Connetquot High School, recently became a published author. She shared her new book, “The Great Adventures of Martha Mae,” a story based on her own hamster, with the classes. After taking a children’s literature class in high school, Miller told the Manetuck students that she was inspired to write a book and have it published. She spoke about the writing, editing, illustration and design processes before a question-and-answer session with each of the classes.
