Booked! With LBPLF
Lawn Party for Young Readers

Last Sunday, an enthusiastic group of young readers came to a very summery, very fun lawn party to support the Long Beach Public Library Foundation.  Local authors Lisa Glatt and Suzanne Greenberg shared their latest Abgail Iris stories and signed books for young fans.  It was a great turnout for a great cause!

Book Review

 

 

WARNING: Do not read this book . . .

 

unless you have nothing else to do, because you won't put it down until you reach the last thrilling page.  The first book of an exciting new dystopian  trilogy, "Divergent" has the emotional complexity of Lois Lowry's "The Giver" and the futuristic imagination of Suzanne Collins's "The Hunger Games."  "Divergent" stands on its own, however, because of the stunningly visual writing of Veronica Roth.

The second book in the series will be published in May 2012, and the list of impatient fans is growing.  Luckily, "Divergent" is so compelling and intricate that you will be happy to reread it while waiting for book two.  "Divergent" is selling fast, and will be on the bestseller list before long, so clear your calendar and get your copy before it's "in"!

"Divergent" is 10% off Apostrophe Books!
