Chronicles, in which David, with the help of
his daughter and a fleet of dragons, must
conquer the deadliest force in the universe
before it’s too late;
ELISE BROACH
will share
Masterpiece
with us, the story of the unlikely but amazing
friendship between an eleven-year-old boy and an
artistic beetle;
CAROLYN COHAGAN
will enchant us with
The Lost Children,
a gripping story in which a lonely 12-year-old
ends up determining the fate of an alternate
world;
VIOLET HABERDASHER
will enthrall us with a 14-year-old orphaned
servant who ends up studying at a prestigious
school to become a modern day knight in
Knightley Academy;
and
MARIE RUTKOSKI
will regale us with
The Celestial Globe,
the thrilling sequel to The Cabinet of
Wonders, which follows the adventures of
Neel and Tomek as they sail the high seas in
search of Petra, who was kidnapped by Prince
Rodolfo's monsters and spirited away to London.
Beginning at noon, these five talents will
introduce their titles, take questions from the
audience, and then sign copies of all their
wonderful titles. Ages 10 and up. 12-2pm.
