Don't miss this incredible feat of middle grade author shenanigans! ABOUT THE BOOKS Mac Barnett & Jory John will be here with their new book, The terrible two. Miles Murphy is not happy to be moving to Yawnee Valley, a sleepy town that's famous for one thing and one thing only: cows. In his old school, everyone knew him as the town's best prankster, but Miles quickly discovers that Yawnee Valley already has a prankster, and a great one. If Miles is going to take the title from this mystery kid, he is going to have to raise his game. It's prankster against prankster in an epic war of trickery, until the two finally decide to join forces and pull off the biggest prank ever seen: a prank so huge that it would make the members of the International Order of Disorder proud. Jon Scieszka will be here with Frank Einstein and the Electro-Finger. In this second book in the series, Frank Einstein (kid-genius scientist and inventor) and his best friend, Watson, along with Klink (a self-assembled artificial-intelligence entity) and Klank (a mostly self-assembled artificial almost intelligence entity), once again find themselves in competition with T. Edison, their classmate and archrival--this time in a quest to unlock the power behind the science of energy. Jonathan Auxier will be here with The Night Gardener. This follow-up to Auxier's exceptional debut, "Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes, " is a Victorian ghost story that follows two abandoned Irish siblings who travel to work as servants at a creepy, crumbling English manor house. But the house and its family are not quite what they seem. Tom Angleberger will be here with The Rat with the Human Face. Lyle Hertzog and his friends Marilla and Dave are the Qwikpick Adventure Society, three kids who seek out adventure in their seemingly quiet hometown of Crickenburg. On the hunt for their next big adventure—something to top the Fountain of Poop, if that’s even possible—the kids overhear a construction worker telling his buddies about a rat with a human face he saw in the basement of an old research facility. The decision is unanimous: the next adventure for the Qwikpick Society is on!

Tom Angleberger & JON AUXIER speaking & signing their new books,

Princess Labelmaker to the Rescue: An Origami Yoda Book & The Night Gardener Tom Angleberger, author of the bestselling (and BookKids favorite) Origami Yoga series is teaming up for an evening of fun with Jon Auxier, author of Peter Nimble and his fantastic eyes! Angleberger will be here to share his latest book, Princess Labelmaker to the Rescue. Auxier will talk to us about his new novel for young readers, The Night Gardner. Join us!

About Princess Labelmaker to the Rescue:

The latest in our favorite Origami Yoda series! One month before the state standards test are to take place, the Origami Rebel Alliance has found powerful allies in unexpected places in their fight against the FunTime test preparation program, but Principal Rabbski has not yet declared her allegiance.

About The Night Gardener:

This much-anticipated follow-up to Jonathan Auxier's exceptional debut, Peter Nimble and his fantastic eyes, is a Victorian ghost story with shades of Washington Irving and Henry James. More than just a spooky tale, it's also a moral fable about human greed and the power of storytelling.

This event is free and open to the public. In order to have anything signed at a BookPeople event, a copy of the event book must be purchased from BookPeople. If you purchase your book from BookPeople in advance of the event, please save your receipt and present it at the event.
