I’m on the other side of a school author visit this morning, as the coordinator because REBECCA STEAD IS VISITING OUR SCHOOL TODAY!!!
Sorry…didn’t mean to shout, but…well, you know. It’s Rebecca, who is so kind and nice and funny and who wrote the amazing WHEN YOU REACH ME, which won the Newbery Medal, and she’s HERE!!!!
I mean…ahem…we are very much looking forward to her presentations.
Yesterday, Rebecca gave a reading and talk at the fantastic Flying Pig Bookstore in Shelburne, Vermont. Here’s Rebecca (on the right) is with Flying Pig co-owner Elizabeth Bluemle (on the left).
And here’s Rebecca signing books in the Flying Pig loft, which has to be one of the greatest bookstore event spaces in bookstore history.
By the way, Rebecca signed some stock at Flying Pig, so if you’d like your very own signed copy of WHEN YOU REACH ME, their number is
(802) 985-3999.
I’m off to compose myself and get the AV equipment ready…
How exciting!
I love that book, what fun you get to meet her! (and that she gets to meet YOU!)
Very cool. :>) I just bought Wendy Mass’ new book, and there’s a blurb from Rebecca on the cover.
What fun! I’m jealous!
Thanks, Karen~ It was a magical day!
I loved it, too, Liza ~ and really enjoyed hearing the stories behind it.
Oh yay! Do you mean FINALLY? I read an ARC of that and loved it, too.
She was wonderful~ Thanks, Natalee!
Yeah, it came out on Monday, and there’s a quote from Rebecca on the front cover.
