Blast off with children/teen Sci-fi author KATIE SLIVENSKY
Porter Square Books welcomes children/teen author KATIE SLIVENSKY with her first book: The Countdown Conspiracy. The Martian meets The Goonies in this out-of-this-world middle grade debut where the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Miranda Regent can’t believe she was just chosen as one of six kids from around the world to train for the first ever mission to Mars. But as soon as the official announcement is made, she begins receiving anonymous threatening messages…and when the training base is attacked, it looks like Miranda is the intended target. Now the entire mission–and everyone’s lives–are at risk. And Miranda may be the only one who can save them.

But as the first slow song starts to play, her plans crumble. Avery asks someone else to dance instead–and then the power goes out.

Illustrators BRADEN LAMB, SHELLI PAROLINE, and JEREL DYE present Making Scents and Pigs Might Fly
Brookline Booksmith hosts illustrators BRADEN LAMB and SHELLI PAROLINE with their book Making Scents, and JEREL DYE with Pigs Might Fly.
If pigs were meant to fly, they’d have been born with wings—but there’s no convincing Pig’s Might Fly‘s Lily Leanchops. To save Pigdom Plains, Lily must take to the skies in her own experimental aircraft—and there’s no time for a test run.
In Making Scents, Mickey’s parents are crazy about the canines. Naturally, they’re raising their son as if he was a dog…and Mickey wants nothing more than to make his parents proud. Just as Mickey is mastering the art of sniffing, a tragic accident forever changes his happy family. Mickey is sent to live with relatives he’s never met―relatives who are not fond of kids . . . and who hate dogs!
