Another blockbuster author coming up! We look forward to welcoming Rainbow Rowell, the hugely popular author of books for young adults and adults alike. She'll be speaking about and signing Carry On,
her latest YA novel, described as a ghost story, love story, and a
mystery. Says Book Stall children's department chief Robert McDonald: Carry On is a departure for Ms. Rowell, but relates to the characters in her beloved Fangirl. Click here for Ms. Rowell's website.
Please note:
Your
entry ticket is the purchase of a Rainbow Rowell book (any one) from
The Book Stall. We require a special event bracelet (free with book
purchase) to gain entry to the auditorium. Due to the volume of calls we
are unable take phone orders for this event, but you are welcome to
stop by the store to get your book and entry bracelet. If you are unable
to make it to the store before the event, we will be selling Rainbow's
books (and issuing entry bracelets) on-site. Doors open at 5:30
pm. We will have plenty of books, and with ample space in the auditorium
there is no need to worry that you won't get in.

Penny Lane from her earlier book, The Lonely Hearts Club.
