- Grades 5-12: Neptune's Honor
- Grades 5-12: An Angry Drum Echoed
Parent, Teacher and Community workshops are also available.
LENGTH OF PROGRAMS
The length of presentations varies with the audience's ages. I usually present programs ranging from 30-60 minutes. Bi-lingual programs may run longer.

 Book Reviews |
I have given programs to audiences of all sizes. If presented in a large library or auditorium, I can accommodate up to 125-150 students at each presentation.
PROGRAMS
"Everyone at the school had nothing but good things to say about your visit. The teachers couldn't believe how focused the students were during your presentation. You did a good job of keeping the presentation moving and not letting the kids get bored."
Cindy Hensley, Media specialist
Stephens County Middle School, Toccoa, GA
The presentations are tailored to different age groups, and I weave information, storytelling and research into all of them. My vision is to inspire the students to enjoy reading and learn writing skills. We all have a book in us! Some programs include PowerPoint slides. All assemblies can be conducted in Spanish, English or a combination of both.
ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS
For Educators/Librarians

A WORD FROM PAMELA BAUER MUELLER
"My father told his five children that we could do anything we wanted in life, as long as we believed in ourselves. This is the message I take to the classrooms I visit. I want to help each child discover his worth.
"Each one of us has a story to tell and we all teach others through our examples. I didn't realize I wove "teaching points" into my stories until the educators pointed them out. Through these teaching points children learn to accept and overcome.
"We have a lot of fun in our sessions. Please visit www.pinatapub.com to share the magic we've uncovered through our classroom visits!"

FEES
$600 (plus travel and lodging expenses) per day for Author's Visit or Workshops. I am very interested in visiting international schools. Evening presentations are available for an additional $250 when booked in conjunction with a day program. All programs can be presented in Spanish and English, or a combination of both.
SET-UP AND EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
- A microphone, preferably one that can be removed from the stand
- A table for the books
- A glass of water
- Optional: a projector and large screen to project a power-point presentation (selected programs)
AUTOGRAPHING INFORMATION
Pamela offers a discount for all books sold to the students in conjunction with her author visits. All books can be pre-ordered through the Book Order Form on this website. Educators should send this order form home with the students two weeks before the presentation, and again the day before. After each presentation, the child will bring the order sheet with his/her name, and Pamela will autograph the books.
For pre-orders, the books can be mailed to the school in advance already autographed. The event coordinator must receive payment for all pre-orders before books are mailed.
For large book sales, we recommend that autographed requests be forwarded to Pamela in advance to allow more time for personal interaction with the students on the day of the visit.
Also, contact Pamela for classroom sets discounted at 25% off the retail price.
