TWEEN & TEEN AUTHOR EVENT - SCOTT WESTERFELD: LEVIATHAN

TWEEN & TEEN EVENT - SCOTT WESTERFELD: LEVIATHAN 7PM

 

The New York Times bestselling author of Uglies and Pretties visits with his latest young adult book, Leviathan. It is the cusp of World War I, and the European powers are arming up. The Austro-Hungarians and Germans have their Clankers: steam-driven iron machines loaded with guns and ammunition. The British Darwinists employ fabricated animals as their weaponry. Their Leviathan is a whale airship -- the most masterful beast in the British fleet. Aleksandar Ferdinand, prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, is on the run. His own people have turned on him, and his title is worthless. All he has is a battle-torn Stormwalker and a loyal crew of men. Deryn Sharp is a commoner, a girl disguised as a boy in the British Air Service. She’s a brilliant airman. But her secret is in constant danger of being discovered. With the Great War brewing, Alek’s and Deryn’s paths cross in the most unexpected way, taking them both aboard the Leviathan on a fantastical, around-the-world adventure.

SEATING begins one hour before the event. Lettered tickets (free with book purchase) will be called alphabetically to fill seats and will also be used to form the booksigning line. Seating opens to the general public fifteen minutes before the event, so please arrive early, as space is limited.
