Ages 8-12

Join us for an afternoon with two award-winning middle grade authors as they discuss their authentic and compulsively readable new books. In We Dream of Space, the latest release from the Newbery Medal-winning author of Hello, Universe, three siblings navigate a chaotic household and the trials of seventh grade as they await the launch of the Challenger space shuttle. In Becoming Brianna, the fourth book in the Emmie & Friends graphic novel series, Brianna Davis prepares for her bat mitzvah while pressure builds from her mother's expectations and a fight with her best friend. Readers will find comfort and company in these refreshingly honest portrayals of family, friendship, and middle school angst. 

In Conversation with Karen MacPherson, Children and Teens Librarian, Takoma Park, MD Library.
