You Can Meet Jeff Kinney!

Guess what ... the author of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books is coming to Rhode Island! On Saturday, October 18, Jeff Kinney will be at the Rhode Island Festival of Children's Books and Authors.

So will Bob Shea, who wrote our Mock Caldecott winner Unicorn Thinks He's Pretty Great. And Jon Scieszka, who wrote The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.

This annual event takes place at the Lincoln School in Providence, and it is AWESOME. You get to listen to authors and illustrators talk about their work, and then meet them and have them sign books. The best part is, it's only $5 ... free if you win some of the free tickets that I will be getting ...

If you're reading this over the summer, please leave a comment below with your initials and last year's homeroom included. I'll put you on the shortlist for the free ticket drawing.

More details to come when the schedule has been finalized.
