Cirrus Farber

Cirrus Farber (SED’96) of Orleans, Mass., published the young-adult novel Off the Grid (CreateSpace, 2016). She writes, “Told from a 13-year-old girl’s point of view, the book is about a family that moved off the grid after their daughter seemed to be heading down the wrong path.” Cirrus adds that the book was “kid-tested” by her fifth-grade students. “It is a thought-provoking, suspenseful story about family dynamics, survival, friendship, bullying, and forgiveness. Off the Grid is written for middle-grade readers, but in concept, of high interest to any parent, grandparent, or teacher who has worried about the possible negative impacts of technology on our youth.” Contact Cirrus at cirrusfarber@yahoo.com.
