The author will offer her novel A Clueless Heart for sale during lunch periods at the school on April 23
Sandburg High School Senior Tanja Samardzija, a self-published author, will offer her novel A Clueless Heart for sale during lunch periods at the school on Thursday, April 23.
Samardzija began writing the book in seventh grade and persisted until she finished this year, with great support and encouragement from her mom.
She has been posting flyers throughout the school and the school will make a morning announcement to inform classmates that they can purchase her book. She intends to donate 15% of all sales next week to an orphanage, since her protagonist is raised in an orphanage.
In addition to being an excellent writer, Samardzija has been involved in a number of activities over her four years at Sandburg High School including Soccer, Model UN, Student Council, SKILLS USA and WYSE/JETS.
