We had a lovely time at the Valley Ranch (Irving) Public Library with Newbery Award winning author, Rebecca Stead. Rebecca read from WHEN YOU REACH ME (Newbery winner) and her most recent work, LIAR & SPY.
We had a great crowd (about 85) and Rebecca was delighted that most were young people who had read her books. So often, she explained, her library events are attended by teachers, librarians and future writers, so it was a treat to be able to discuss her books with readers who brought along their dog-eared, highlighted and annotated copies. There were some well read tomes present that now include another line of text...Rebecca's signature.
