The Writer Meets The Reader what it is and when  Meet the writer, 22  March 2023 afternoon. ‘Remote Rescue’ by George Ivanoff For our first Book Club this year, local author George Ivanoff, will take us on a journey where we dig deep into the mind of those teenage boys in our lives to discover what motivates them and what they are reading.  George has made a very successful career out of catering for that demographic who often resist reading, simply because they are not interested in the subject matter offered to them. He tells stories about ordinary kids facing extraordinary circumstances and that breaks down barriers. George Ivanoff has written more than 100 books for kids and teens, including fiction and non-fiction, although he admits that Science fiction and fantasy are his two of his favorite genres.   He has won prestigious awards for his You Choose series, an interactive work consisting of 13 books. He has also done a series of science fiction novels extending his imagination
