Nadia is a 6th grade student at East Lyme Middle School and has just recently self‑published her own fantasy children’s book, the 141‑page “The Crystal Quest,” through the BookBaby publisher.
It all grew out of a class assignment. When Nadia was in fourth grade at Lillie B. Haynes Elementary School, her teacher, Benjamin Conlon, told students they would each spend time every Friday in class writing a short novel. Conlon also happens to be an author, having published two books in what will be The Slingshot’s Secret trilogy.
Nadia participates in competitive gymnastics, and some of her hobbies include writing, reading, dancing, solving the Rubik's cube and spending time with friends.
