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.

This event is not ticketed.

The Countdown Conspiracy is currently on pre-order at Porter Square Books.

YA author JENN BISHOP at Porter Square Books

Porter Square Books welcomes JENN BISHOP with 14 Hollow Road, a warm coming-of-age novel about a community banding together in the wake of a tornado.

The night of the sixth-grade dance is supposed to be perfect for Maddie: she’ll wear her perfect new dress, hit the dance floor with her friends, and her crush, Avery, will ask her to dance. 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.

This event is not ticketed.
