Elizabeth Norris "Breaks" into Mepham!

Elizabeth Norris
It is our distinct pleasure to invite author Elizabeth Norris to Mepham High School! Norris will be our guest speaker at the National English Honor Society Induction Ceremony on Tuesday, April 23, 2013 at 2:15 p.m. in the auditorium. In case you cannot attend this event, be on the lookout for an article about her visit in an upcoming issue of The Buccaneer.


Norris briefly taught high school English and history before trading the southern California beaches and sunshine for Manhattan's snowpocalyptic winters. She harbors dangerous addictions to guacamole, red velvet cupcakes, sushi, and Argo Tea, fortunately not all together. Her debut novel, UNRAVELING, was published in April 2012. It’s the story of one girl’s fight to save her family, her world, and the one boy she never saw coming. The sequel, UNBREAKABLE will be released this month.
