Meet Your Favorite Young Adult Authors!

By Shannon G RSS Fri, November 20, 2009

Head over to Children’s Book World in Haverford on Sunday, November 22 for A Novel Idea, a benefit for the Free Library of Philadelphia. Nationally renowned young adult authors will be on location signing copies of their books purchased at the store that day, and 20 percent of book sale proceeds will help the Library acquire more young adult materials for teen readers.

A Novel Idea will take place at Children’s Book World in Haverford (17 Haverford Station Road) from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Joining us from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. will be an unprecedented number of distinguished young adult authors, including Laurie Halse Anderson, Jay Asher, T.A. Barron, Sara Dessen, Steve Kluger, Justine Larbalestier, David Levithan, Lauren Myracle, and Scott Westerfeld. They look forward to meeting you and signing your books!

Due to the nature of the benefit, only books purchased on November 22 at Children’s Book World will be signed. The Free Library will receive 20 percent of all proceeds.

Reading this made me remember my child hood days where I used to irritate my parents to take me to a comic signing convention. It was not a proper books but a comics event. I loved the atmosphere. Author's sitting, comics arranged in the most mouth watering way and those extra goodies waiting for you. I loved it. Thank you for the post. I miss my old days. -Abhinav
