Come join me and a great crowd of YA writers on Monday, May 20th at:

YA Icons
Books of Wonder is thrilled to welcome 5 NY Times bestselling authors of exciting teen novels.

6pm Monday May 20th!

NY Times bestselling author MARGARET STOHL delivers Icons, the first book in a heart pounding series set in a haunting new world (and the inspiration for this event's name!)
NY Times bestselling author GAYLE FOREMAN unveils Just One Day, the first book in a sweepingly romantic duet of novels
NY Times bestselling author TONYA HURLEY gives us chills with The Blessed, the start to a haunting and captivating new trilogy
National Book Award finalist E. LOCKHART shares Real Live Boyfriends, the fourth hilarious episode of Ruby Oliver's high school career;
NY Times bestselling author BARRY LYGA presents Game, the sequel to his hit thriller I Hunt Killersand National Book Award finalist ELIOT SCHERFER shares Endanged, his harrowing tale of one girl's struggle to save a group of bonobos.

The authors will present their novels, answer questions and sign copies of all their titles.There will be light refreshments served.  

In other news, there is a cover for We Were Liars and I adore it hugely. They tell me they are blinging it up, which I think means the lettering will be puffy or embossed, so I don't have the image to share yet. But Squee. I love getting a cover and I will show it to you guys as soon as I can. 

I've just been in Portland for school visits and my new book for little kids, Water in the Park, came out this week. It's a Brooklyn book. A water book. A times of the day book. An inclusive, friendly, neighborhoody book with really cute babies and dogs drawn by Stephanie Graegin.  Details of our appearances this month are here, if you're local and have a little one.
