Red Balloon Bookshop is so excited to welcome Newbery Honor-winner Kyle Lukoff to our store to celebrate his new middle grade novel!
About this Event

A groundbreaking, action-packed, and ultimately uplifting adventure, A World Worth Saving intertwines elements of Jewish mythology with an unflinching examination of the impacts of transphobia.
