Author Signing with Amy Ignatow, author of The Popularity Papers: Research for the Social Improvement and General Betterment of Lydia Goldblatt and Julie Graham-Chang
Tuesday, September 7th at 4pm
Amy
Ignatow's hilarious debut novel introduces intrepid fifth-graders Julie
and Lydia, whose quest to understand popularity may not succeed in the
ways they want, but will succeed in keeping readers in stitches. Amy
Ignatow is an illustrator and teacher who has also been a farmer, a
florist, a short-order vegan cook, a dancing chicken, an SAT prep
instructor, and many more fun and exciting things. In this Diary of a Wimpy Kid (Abrams, 2007) for girls, the story is told entirely in full-color
drawings and in each girl's individual handwriting as they pass their
notebook back and forth to record their observations.

As
stunning as the Dong Ha story is, there was much more to Colonel John

which shaped his personality. Readers will also get to know about John
