The countdown is on!  Mockingjay, the third book in the Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins will be released next Tuesday, August 24th.  And just one week later, we're thrilled to be hosting Ms. Collins at the Brookline Public Library.  Read on for more information.
Suzanne Collins Mockingjay 
Tuesday, August 31
1:00p.m. to 2:30p.m. 
Brookline Public Library
Hunneman Hall

 
 Come and meet Suzanne Collins at the Brookline Public Library.  Ms. Collins will read from Mockingjay, and then be available to meet her fans.  Due to an existing hand strain, Ms. Collins will not be signing books, but she will stamp one book per customer with a custom-made hand stamp created exclusively for this 2010 Mockingjay tour.
 
     In order to accommodate as many fans as possible, the publisher has set certain ground rules.  There will be no actual signing, and Ms. Collins will not be able to personalize any books.  Photographs are allowed, but Ms. Collins will not be able to individually "pose" with customers.
 
     Books will be available for purchase at The Children's Book Shop beginning on August 24th, as well as being on sale at the event.  When you purchase your copy from the Book Shop, you will receive a limited edition Hunger Games bag clip, while supplies last.

     Seating in Hunneman Hall will be on a first come, first serve basis.  Numbers will be handed out at the door, which will also serve as your place in the line to meet Ms. Collins. 
     We hope to see you there!
