Doug Buffone
Don’t pass on this event.  Tackle it instead!  We’re happy to welcome Bears’ great, Doug Buffone, to an event celebrating
his book, 50 Greatest Plays in Chicago Bears Football History.  Come to the booksigning, and huddle around a book
Bears’ fans will love.

Dave Barry & Ridley Pearson
Welcome back the authors of the hilarious new book, Science Fair.  The story, set at mythical Hubble Middle School, is an hysterical adventure filled with mystery, suspense, and levitating frogs.  Sounds like a scientific equation for fun reading! 

Nikki Giovanni
Anderson’s welcomes Nikki Giovanni, whose groundbreaking new book and CD anthology of rhymes and rhythms, Hip Hop Speaks to Children, is best described as poetry with a beat.  In addition to this unique and powerful book, Ms. Giovanni is releasing Lincoln and Douglass: An American Friendship, which offers a look at two 19th Century statesmen who formed a strong bond over shared ideals with a common goal of equity.

Louis Sachar
Join acclaimed author Louis Sachar for a 10th Anniversary reading and booksigning honoring Holes, his Newbery Medal and National Book Award-winning novel.  In its new, re-issued edition, Holes introduces today’s generation of middle readers to Stanley Yelnats, wrongly sentenced to a Texas correctional facility where hole-digging may be the punishment, but humor and friendship are the rewards.

Robin Preiss Glasser
Welcome to Anderson’s the fun and fancy Robin Preiss Glasser to celebrate her new book, Tea for Ruby.  Manners and poise don’t come easily to Ruby, but she’s loved just the same.  (Although Sarah Ferguson, the book’s co-author, will not be attending the event, as England’s Duchess of York, she does know a thing or two about proper Royal etiquette.)

Brunonia Barry
With her New York Times bestselling book all the buzz, readers won’t want to miss our special guest, Brunonia Barry.  Her debut novel,
The Lace Reader, is set in modern day Salem, Massachusetts, but running parallel to the story are echoes of the town’s dark history. 

David Macaulay
David Macaulay has perfected the art of explaining the why and how.  And he’s at it again with The Way We Work.  Come meet the author/illustrator of non-fiction bestsellers including City, Castle, Pyramid and The Way Things Work at an Anderson’s special event at Knox Presbyterian Church.  The author’s presentation will be followed by a booksigning and a screening of the PBS version of Cathedral. To attend, please purchase the new book at Anderson’s and receive up to four free event tickets.
