I've been invited to sign at this festival because Hometown Heroines: True Stories of Bravery, Daring, and Adventure won the gold medal from the CLC for 2014 Best Gender Specific Young Adult Book. I'll have copies available for purchase, or you can bring your own copy for me to sign if you'd prefer. See you there!
