Funny Kids’ Fiction: Dictionaries, Scrabble, and Magical Aunties

12:45pm Boston Public Library Rabb Auditorium 700 Boylston Street

Sometimes you just want a book that will tickle your funny bone. Four talented authors do just that in their newest books. Julia Alvarez reveals How Tía Lola Ended Up Starting Over and Meg Wolitzer uncovers The Fingertips of Duncan Dorfman. Meanwhile, Chris Raschka is anything but serious in Seriously, Norman! and Linda Urban finds friendship inside a janitor's bucket in Hound Dog True. Get ready to laugh! Moderated by Kathy Piehl, director of the Center for Children's and Young Adult Books at Minnesota State U, Mankato.
