From Nancy- I must mention again how much I liked, no, loved The Dog Stars by Peter Heller, now in paperback. "A stupendous debut, Heller's voice is both haunted and irresistible. A post-apocalyptic novel with so much emotional truth it reads like a memoir from the future. About a worn-out pilot, his beloved Cessna, his copilot dog and our endless longing for connection — even in a world undone." — Junot Diaz
Some of the store's biggest (and most colorful) events are for children's and teen books. Here are some happy memories for us!
Author and illustrator Nick Bruel came by, fresh from winning the NC Children's Book Award for his picture book, MELVIN BUBBLE. He read MELVIN to an adoring crowd.
We got to see his award, too! And don't you love the tie?
Nick had kids and their parents giggling like mad with his excerpt from HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BAD KITTY.
