Author and illustrator Rory Lucey will join us to present and sign his new middle-grade graphic novel SCRAM: Society of Creatures Real and Magical.

Rockhurst is your average suburban town. It has everything you'd expect: happy families, fun shops . . . and magical creatures!

In the hopes of learning more about the local cryptids, three friends, Jenny, Emiko, and Brian, start the Society of Creatures Real and Magical—S.C.R.A.M.! Their first order of business? To meet a troll!

As they venture into the unknown, our heroes learn valuable lessons about friendship, perseverance, and the importance of keeping a fish head in an old boot.

Rory Lucey previously illustrated the middle grade graphic memoir Bad Sister, written by Charise Mericle Harper, about the moment growing up when she realized that her insistence on getting what she wanted risked hurting her younger brother.

We will have copies of SCRAM: Society of  Creatures Real and Magical available for purchase at the event.
