Event
Kwame Alexander: Booked
Left Bank Books, Maryville Talks Books, St. Louis Public Radio, and HEC-TV present Newbery Medal winner Kwame Alexander, who will sign and discuss his new novel-in-verse, "Booked."
This event is free and open to the public, but RSVPs are required.
In this follow-up to the Newbery-winning novel "The Crossover," soccer, family, love, and friendship, take center stage as twelve-year-old Nick learns the power of words as he wrestles with problems at home, stands up to a bully, and tries to impress the girl of his dreams. Helping him along are his best friend and sometimes teammate Coby, and The Mac, a rapping librarian who gives Nick inspiring books to read. This electric and heartfelt novel-in-verse by poet Kwame Alexander bends and breaks as it captures all the thrills and setbacks, action and emotion of a World Cup match!
