About this Event
Join Ernest & Hadley Booksellers as we welcome Kerri Madden-Lunsford back to the shop to introduce her latest middle grade novel: --
Perfect for fans of books that handle difficult subjects and family dynamics in a sensitive way, like Better Nate Than Ever and Rule of Threes.
For his magnet school legacy project, fifth-grader Angus is planning to stage a play he is writing titled "Werewolf Hamlet"--which is inspired by his seventeen-year-old brother whose behavior has changed radically. A realistic, heartfelt look at the complexities of family relationships and struggles. Along with Angus's loveable charm, sense of humor, and desire to stage his original play, is sure to win its audience--on and off the page--over. A great story for all ages, but especially 8 to 12 year olds!
