Lisa Schroeder and April Henry Event at Clackamas B&N 8.6 @7

Just wanted to let you know that April Henry and Lisa Schroeder are doing a panel and signing this coming Thursday with YA author Kris Dinnison, who is coming in from out of town to join us with her debut novel. The panel will be moderated by Sara who runs the well-known blog, Novel Novice. Here's a little bit about their books:

April Henry: BLOOD WILL TELL (Henry Holt) - the second book in the Point Last Seen series, about a group of teens who volunteer with Portland Search and Rescue. The first book in the series, BODY IN THE WOODS, was an Oregon Book Award winner!

Lisa Schroeder: ALL WE HAVE IS NOW (Scholastic) - about two runaway teens on the streets of Portland and their last 28 hours before an asteroid is due to hit the United States.

Kris Dinnison: YOU AND ME AND HIM (Harcourt) - Maggie and Nash, her out-of-closet best friend, discover they have something unexpected in common -- feelings for the same guy.

Once again, the event will be at the Clackamas B&N August 6th, 7:00. 

Thanks and please spread the word if you know of any teens who might like to come!

 

Bone - written by Jeff Smith

Jeff Smith, the author of Bone, was very funny. You can check out his site here.

When he wrote Bone, it wasn’t originally meant for children but as the twelve years went by, that it took him to write it, the kids that had been reading the comic books grew up.

He wrote the book in 55 comic books and at the time only males age 20 to 30 were interested in the story but they grew up and had kids of their own. They began reading the story to their kids and somehow that’s how it transformed into a children’s book, which Scholastic picked up and now it has been translated into 23 different languages.
