About this Event

Meet Wallace West, the illustrator of Dogtown.


Dogtown is a shelter for stray dogs, misbehaving dogs, and discarded robot dogs, whose owners have outgrown them.


Chance, a real dog, has been in Dogtown since her owners unwittingly left her with irresponsible dog-sitters who skipped town.


Metal Head is a robot dog who dreams of being back in a real home.


And Mouse is a mouse who has the run of Dogtown, pilfering kibble, and performing clever feats to protect the dogs he loves.


When Chance and Metal Head embark on an adventure to find their forever homes, there is danger, cheese sandwiches, a charging station, and some unexpected kindnesses along the way.


About the Illustrator:

Wallace West is an award-winning children's book author / illustrator and a world explorer. His first picture book, Mighty Red Riding Hood, won a Lambda Literary Award. Wallace is the illustrator of the New York Times bestselling middle-grade Dogtown series by Katherine Applegate and Gennifer Choldenko. By day he writes and illustrates, by night he wonders if he should get a pet snake.
