Jennifer will sign books and will help you make friendship barrettes. Jennifer Robin Barr is a writer from the Philadelphia area, spending her days on a college campus working with students, and her free time writing for children and middle grade readers.
About Thunder and Mercy
Fast-paced and full of twists, this suspenseful middle grade novel transports young readers between the 1770s and 1970s as Thunder uncovers the truth behind a Revolutionary-era spy network — and discovers the importance of friendship, family, and her own voice along the way.
Celeste Dador with Stars, Stripes & Summer Nights
Celeste Dador (da-door) writes cozy, swoony, seasonal romances with big heart and laughs.
About Stars, Stripes & Summer Nights
When First Daughter Abby is banished from the White House, she dives into a summer of surprises, small-town magic, and sparks with the boy who shakes up her world in this swoony, patriotic romance — just in time for America’s 250th anniversary!
