Matt de la Pena, Last Stop on Market Street
Author appearance, discussion, Q&A, and book signing

Every Sunday after church, CJ and his grandma ride the bus across town. But today, CJ wonders why they don’t own a car like his friend Colby. Why doesn’t he have an iPod like the boys on the bus? How come they always have to get off in the dirty part of town? Each question is met with an encouraging answer from grandma, who helps him see the beauty—and fun—in their routine and the world around them.

Last Stop on Main Street has received tremendous accolades including a Caldecott Honor and the Newbery Medal.

The Brass Sisters – Baking with the Brass Sisters
Author appearance, discussion, Q&A, and book signing, and food tasting

Marilynn and Sheila Brass are on a mission to bring old-fashioned American home baking back to everyone’s kitchen. Baking with the Brass Sisters embodies the philosophy that’s drawn thousands of fans to them: “We believe that there is nothing that tastes as good as something baked by someone who loves us, unless it is something we have baked and shared with someone we love.” In their new book, Marilynn and Sheila have gone to their collection of trusted manuscript cookbooks and handwritten recipes that number in the thousands to rediscover the home-baked treats that were brought to America from around the world.

After a year apart, and an ill-fated affair with the Winter Street Inn’s old Santa Claus, Mitzi has returned to rule the roost; Patrick is about to be released from prison; Kevin has a successful new business and is finally ready to tie the knot with Isabelle; and best of all, there’s hopeful news about Bart, who has been captured by enemy forces in Afghanistan.
