small The Island of Dr. LibrisFREE!

Inprint invites everyone to enjoy an afternoon with bestselling children’s author Chris Grabenstein. Grabenstein will share his latest young adult novel The Island of Dr. Libris, perfect for ages 8 -12 years. Booklist says the novel plays “homage to classic works of literature,” and is “effortlessly readable and a whole lot of fun.” After his presentation, he will take questions from the audience, followed by a book sale and signing*, giving fans a chance to visit with him. Books will be available for sale at the event through Blue Willow Bookshop.

Chris Grabenstein is most well-known for his New York Times bestseller Escape From Mr. Lemoncello’s Library, which Booklist in a starred review describes as “an ode to libraries and literature that is a worthy successor to the original madman puzzle-master himself, Willy Wonka.” Kirkus Reviews says, “Full of puzzles to think about, puns to groan at and references to children’s book titles, this solid, tightly plotted read is a winner for readers and game-players alike.” A 2014 Association for Library Services to Children Notable Book, the novel was recently optioned by Nickelodeon to become a movie.

Grabenstein is also co-author with James Patterson of the #1 bestsellers I Funny, I Even Funnier, and Treasure Hunters. He has written over twenty other books, is a playwright, screenwriter, former advertising executive, and improvisational comedian. Winner of two Anthony and four Agatha Awards, Grabenstein wrote for Jim Henson’s Muppets and co-wrote the TV movie The Christmas Gift.
