Teen Book Mania

My library is hosting it's first teen author event next Saturday June 5. Teen Book Mania will be held at 2pm and features four YA authors: Brent Crawford, Jenny B Jones, Brian Katcher and Holly Schindler. There will be Q&A session as well as a book signing.

If you're in SW MO (or want to drive!) and would like more info on the event, send me an e-mail and I'll give you more info.

I'm also looking for good author questions to ask for our author Q&A, so if you have any favorite author panel questions, let me know!

  1. I would love to go, but I'm working back home in St. Louis for the summer. I will be returning to Springfield in the fall though, and I plan to drop by the library sometime then to say hi! :)

  3. That sounds like a terrific event--maybe you can plant some questions with the teens in case they're shy to get started. I always like to ask what the author has on their nightstand to read--they've always got an answer for that one!

    Maybe a teen could ask how they think being a teenager now is different from being a teenager when they were in high school....

And you think that books sounds like it would be right up your alley, but you're in a reading slump and you're afraid to give it a try unless it fails? I knew Eleanor and Park sounded like my perfect book, but I was in such an after committee slump that I even though I knew this book would help, I just didn't want to be disappointed. I should have known better because Eleanor and Park was perfect and everything that I had hoped it wou
