Baldwin Public Library is hosting 3 teen authors on December 6th
This is a nice program with local authors for a focused group. Is anyone familiar with the authors and could comment on them?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Would you like to meet three highly acclaimed female authors? Interested in books for teens and youth? Baldwin Public Library has the event for you! Join us on Sunday, December 6, at 2 pm for an autographing event with Helen Frost, Pearl North, and Amy Huntley. Two of the authors are from Michigan and the other has received the Mitten Award, which is awarded by the Michigan Library Association for the outstanding children’s book of the year. This event is cosponsored by the Baldwin Public Library and Book Beat. Materials will be available for purchase at the event.
Helen Frost’s stories take us many places around the world. Wherever these places are, from Scotland to Alaska, to the Midwest, the author knows them and probably has lived there. Her books have won many state and national awards, including a Printz Honor for Keesha’s House and the Lee Bennett Hopkins Poetry Award for both Diamond Willow and The Braid. Most recently she has become the 2009 Mitten Award Winner, given by the Michigan Library Association for the outstanding children’s book of the year for Diamond Willow.
Pearl North, from Royal Oak, will discuss and sign her first YA novel, Libyrinth. Although this is her first novel for teens, Pearl North has written a number of science fiction novels under another name. The Libyrinth is a library so vast that even after generations, the Libyrarian’s have not been able to catalog all of its contents. Now a group known as the Eradicants want to destroy the books, in a plot discovered by Haly, a young clerk in the massive library.
Amy Huntley, from East Lansing, will discuss and sign her first YA novel The Everafter. In the Everafter recently deceased seventeen-year-old Madison is looking for clues from her life that might explain what exactly happened to her. Hailed as realistically depicting high school life, this first novel is both thought-provoking and intriguing.
