Author Gary Paulsen to Entertain Fans at Wilson Middle School
Tuesday, April 6th, 2010 Doors open at 5pm, Program begins at 6pm,
@ Wilson Middle School 22 Rutledge Road, Natick, MA
Wellesley Booksmith and the Morse Institute Library invite you to an exciting evening
with Gary Paulsen, the beloved author of more than 175 books for adults and young adults,
including modern classics and Newbery Honor books Hatchet, Dogsong, and The Winter Room.
Hailed by the New York Times as "one of the best-loved writers alive," he is one of the
most adventurous too, having traveled with a carnival; worked as a construction worker, a
ranch hand, and a sailor; and twice run the Iditarod. At this event, Gary will talk about
his new novels Woods Runner, a stirring tale of one boy's attempt to rescue his parents
during the Revolutionary War, and Lawn Boy Returns, a companion novel to fan favorite
Lawn Boy. Gary divides his time between homes in Alaska and New Mexico and a boat in the
Pacific.
Institute Library present...
IMPORTANT BOOK SIGNING INFORMATION:
Gary will happily sign any books purchased at this event, in addition to one (but only
one) book per family from your home, library, or classroom. In order to keep the signing
line moving and allow time for everyone to meet him, the only books in which Gary will
write personalized inscriptions (e.g. To Jack, Happy Birthday, Nora, etc.) are copies of
Woods Runner and Lawn Boy Returns purchased at this event. No posed pictures with Gary
are permitted, but
you are welcome to take as many candid photographs of him as you'd like during both his
presentation and signing.

Author Katherine Howe to Speak at Wellesley Free Library
Event Co-sponsored by the Newcomers' Club of Wellesley
Sunday, April 18, 2010 at 2:00 PM
@ the Wellesley Free Library, 530 Washington Street, Wellesley, MA
Join Katherine Howe for a magical evening co-sponsored by Wellesley Booksmith, the
Wellesley Free Library, and the Wellesley Newcomers. Katherine will be speaking about her
beloved first novel, The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane, which debuted at #2 on the New
York Times Hardcover Fiction Bestseller List! Scholars of the Salem witch trials have
long asked why the accusers chose to ruin so many lives, but Howe asks, what if the women
really were witches? What if the magic was real? As Booklist notes in its starred review,
"Howe's vividly detailed, witty, and astutely plotted debut is deeply rooted in her
family connection to accused seventeenth-century witches Elizabeth Howe and Elizabeth
Proctor. . . . A keen and magical historical mystery [it's] laced with romance and sly
digs at society's persistent underestimation of women." Paced like a thriller, set at a
university, and plotted around the search for a breakthrough in a historical mystery, it
will keep you turning pages long into the night.
