Next Tuesday night, November 15th, Laurie Halse Anderson will visit the St. Louis County Library in Frontenac on book tour for her new historical novel Forge.
I hope some of you will get out there to see her! The event starts at 7 p.m., and the county library is across the street from Plaza Frontenac mall. Puddnhead Books is one of the tour stop sponsors.
Forge is a great Revolutionary War page-turner featuring an escaped child slave named Curzon and scenes from the long winter at Valley Forge. There's humor, grit, friendship, loyalty, betrayal, a great narrative voice, and many, many cool historical epigraphs that link each chapter to voices from the time period.
