The acclaimed writer Rick Yancey stops at Anderson’s to share The 5th Wave, his thrilling new book for young adults. It’s a sci-fi stunner that follows a girl trying to survive among earth’s last humans. It ventures into the “what defines humanity” category, if you can catch your breath in the meantime! |

From the author of Little Owl's Night comes a new book about shy Octopus who lives on a lively reef, and what happens when she finds herself alone, far from home. In her new title, Octopus Alone, Divya Srinivasan introduces children to the natural world in a very warm-hearted way. |

This one’s super exciting and super rare! Judy Blume, the legend herself, will be in attendance as we show the film adaptation of her 1981 young adult novel, Tiger Eyes. And not only that, Ms. Blume will participate in a Q & A session with our audience and then sign copies of the movie edition of her book. You know her from Are You There God, it’s Me, Margaret and Forever, among so many other favorites that made growing up a little easier! Purchase the new edition from Anderson’s and a $5 event ticket to attend. |
