Gianna Z. and I will be in your neck of the woods this weekend!
I’ll be reading, answering questions, signing books, and doing some fun leaf identification activities with kids this weekend at Newtonville Books. I’ve heard such great things about this independent bookstore, and I can’t wait to visit! Here are the details:
THE BRILLIANT FALL OF GIANNA Z. Author Event
Saturday, September 19th

Newtonville Books
296 Walnut St.

If any of your friends are teachers or parents of middle grade readers, I’d love it if you’d share the time & date with them. There’s also an official invitation on Facebook if anyone has Boston friends & would like to pass along the link!

Kate– I’m excited that you’re coming our way. I’m hoping to come, and bring along a few kids. Have fun this weekend!
Heather
Waaaa. I’m so sad to miss this. Have tons of fun!
When are you coming to the Bay Area??? hint hint! 😉
Re: Newtonville Books
Oh yay! I can’t wait to meet you!

Kate– Tomorrow I am blogging about how to support other writers. Links to your Saturday signing are prominently positioned in the post. I have also done some word of mouth and sent in a note to my son’s 4th grade class. I hope that you have a supportive turn out!
(It seems so silly to say that I wrote a note to my son’s class, but I guess that every little bit counts, right?)
Re: Blog Post
Thank you so much! (And no – the note to your son’s class isn’t silly at all – I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that, especially since it’s the perfect age for this book!)
Aw, sorry to miss you too – but have a great time in Maine!
Not this fall, unfortunately…though doing an event at Books, Inc. is on my some-day wish list!

Re: Blog Post
Thanks,Chris! I’m so glad you liked my website – wish I could take credit, but Theo Black at The Black Arts designed & created it. I was delighted with what we ended up with!
I was actually in D.C. last spring researching my new book, which involves a heist at the Smithsonian! We’ll likely be back this spring, so I’ll be sure to drop you a note before we go.
Kate this is me CRYING because I LIVE in Boston (well…go to school here anyway), will be in Newton on Saturday but it is the Jewish New Year so I won’t be able to attend your event. 🙁 Best of luck with the event.
