Time: 12:00 – 12:45 PM
Location: The Children & Young Adult Stage in the Lower Level of the First Baptist Church of Decatur, 308 Clairemont Ave, Decatur, Georgia 30030
A 12 year-old with “ghost-sight” who embarks on a journey with coffee-loving ghosts, a heroine named Wednesday who’s not the only one in middle school who can see ghosts, and Thor’s saga in the Nine Worlds, the home of gods, valkyries, and dwarves.
Young adult authors George O’Connor, Adam Rosenbaum and Karen Strong demystify the magical worlds they’ve created for readers of all ages. They’ll share snippets of their magic and probably make you laugh in this exciting panel!
The panel discussion will be held Saturday, October 5th at 12:00 PM at the Children & Young Adult Stage in the Lower Level of the First Baptist Church of Decatur. Following the panel, authors will proceed to signing tables to autograph books.
