Sue Grafton has 31 past events. (show)  Jo Baker, Longbourn A Pizza Party for The Gentleman'sTour, Featuring John Corey Whaley, Jason Reynolds, and Brendan Kiely Boswell Book Company is proud to present a pizza party event for kids ages 14 to 84 with The Gentleman’s Tour featuring authors Jason Reynolds, John Corey Whaley, and Brendan Kiely. Sharing themes of teenagers facing difficult decisions as they find their footing in a challenging world, these three authors will each read from and sign copies of their latest novels and field questions from the audience. Fans of The Outsiders will love When I Was the Greatest by Jason Reynolds, which is about standing up for what’s right even while on the wrong side of a questionable neighborhood. Ali lives in Bed-Stuy, a Brooklyn neighborhood known for guns and drugs, but he and his sister, Jazz, and their neighbors, Needles and Noodles, stay out of trouble until they go to the wrong party, where one gets badly hurt and another leaves with a target on his back. Printz Award winner Walter Dean Meyers says of When I Was the Greatest: “readers will discover new meanings for the term 'family' and how street life can affect and redefine traditional values. I'm glad I've found Mr. Reynolds, a bright new talent.”
From John Corey Whaley, the author of the award-winning Where Things Come Back, comes Noggin, a touching and hilarious coming-of-age story that will blow readers’ minds—or their heads. The in between part is still a little fuzzy, but Travis Coates can tell you that, at some point or another, his head got chopped off and shoved into a freezer in Denver, Colorado. Five years later, it was reattached to some other guy’s body, and despite all logic, he’s still sixteen, but everything and everyone around him has changed. That includes his bedroom, his parents, his best friend, and his girlfriend. According to Kirkus Reviews, “Whaley’s signature cadence and mad storytelling skillz are worth every page… Noggin is a satisfyingly oddball Frankenstein-like tale of connectivity.”
Doubt meets Speak in Brendan Kiely’s debut The Gospel of Winter, a fearless teen novel about a boy grappling with years of abuse at the hands of a man he believed to be a trusted friend. Emotionally authentic and beautifully rendered, The Gospel of Winter doesn't shy away from harsh realities or difficult topics, but is so engaging, readers will be unable to put the book down until the very last page. New York Times bestselling author Colum McCann calls The Gospel of Winter: “a novel that captures the pulse of a contemporary wound, a truth that needs to be told about the shameful issue of abuse within our society. It is also a novel that examines the faultlines of love, family, adolesence, faith and belonging. Brendan Kiely has written a novel that is both unflinching and redemptive."

Edgar Hoover’s Secret FBI (A) Cost: FREE No tickets required. For Info: 215-567-4341. In conversation with Bonnie and John Raines and Keith Forsyth In 1971 a group of unlikely activists—ordinary people from diverse walks of life—broke into an FBI office just outside of Philadelphia and stole thousands of files that documented the dirty tricks, Constitutional violations, and domestic spying of J. Edgar Hoover’s “shadow” agency. Washington Post reporter Betty Medsger was the first to receive and report on these files. For three years she made headlines and history with this information, and continued her investigation long after she left the paper. After decades of silence, the former Philadelphia Evening Bulletin reporter convinced the anonymous activists to come forward with their story. In The Burglary, Medsger details how their actions “dealt the first significant blow to an institution that had amassed enormous power and prestige” (The New York Times) in this chillingly prescient tale that seems to foreshadow post-9/11 spying and state secrets. A former chair of the Department of Journalism at San Francisco State University and the founder of its Center for Integration and Improvement of Journalism, Medsger is also the author of Winds of Change, Framed, and Women at Work.
