New Middle Grade Novel!
Stacy McAnulty
Tuesday, September 17, 7:00 pm
Ages 8+
From the author of The Miscalculations of Lightning Girl: Eleanor Dross knows a thing or two about the end of the world, thanks to a survivalist grandfather. So when she reads about a Harvard scientist's prediction that an asteroid will strike Earth in April, Eleanor knows her family will be prepared. Her classmates? They're on their own!
But it's hard to keep quiet about a life-destroying asteroid--especially at a crowded lunch table--and soon Eleanor is the president of the (secret) End of the World Club. It turns out that prepping for TEOTWAWKI (the End of the World as We Know It) is actually kind of fun. But you can't really prepare for everything life drops on you. And one way or another, Eleanor's world is about to change.
