queensthiefHere's the blurb from the library's site:
Friends of the Library present Megan Whalen Turner
You're invited to hear author Megan Whalen Turner speak on the importance of teaching children how to choose good books.
Megan Whalen Turner is an American author of fantasy fiction for young adults. She received her BA with honors in English language and literature from the University of Chicago. She is best known for her series of young adult novels primarily revolving around a character named Eugenides. Turner has no name for the series herself, but fans have coined it The Queen's Thief. The first book in the series, The Thief, won a Newbery Honor award. The second, third, and fourth books in the series are The Queen of Attolia, The King of Attolia, and A Conspiracy of Kings.
No reservations required.
Elsewhere on the site, it lists 6:30-7:30 p.m. as the time for the talk [apparently after the Friends of the Library business meeting at 5 p.m.].
I'm driving up from Atlanta. Is anyone else coming? Do we know if Our Author's available for dinner afterwards? Are there any good places nearby?
So many questions, so little time until actual author awesome ensues!
