The Spooky Things Just Out of Sight with Jerry Spinelli and Ben Hatke
11 a.m. in the 
Coolidge Auditorium 
At this fun and spooky event, we'll meet Worm from legendary children's writer Jerry Spinelli's new novel "Dead Wednesday" and we'll also meet Milo from Ben Hatke's graphic novel "Things in the Basement." Worm and Milo have major issues to worry about, like when Worm has to ponder how to deal with the ghost girl who makes herself a cozy home inside his head. Milo faces a whole world of terrors in his new home's basement. He slowly discovers the things that reside there are only steps away from his room. What will they do in the face of scary things that live right in their house or brain?! Find out, if you dare!

Recommended for ages 6-12+
