SUMMARY:Virtual Author Event: Katherine Applegate
DESCRIPTION:Join us as award-winning author and summer reading champion Katherine Applegate talks to viewers about her enthusiastically heartwarming novel in verse\, Odder.  \nEveryone wants to meet Odder\, the Queen of Play. Odder spends her days off the coast of central California\, practicing her underwater acrobatics and spinning the quirky stories for which she’s known. She’s a fearless daredevil\, curious to a fault. But when Odder comes face-to-face with a hungry great white shark\, her life takes a dramatic turn\, one that will challenge everything she believes about herself―and about the humans who hope to save her. \nKatherine Applegate’s Odder\, is inspired by the true story of a Monterey Bay Aquarium program that pairs orphaned otter pups with surrogate mothers. This poignant and humorous tale told in free verse examines bravery and healing through the eyes of one of nature’s most beloved and charming animals. \nThis event will be recorded and people who register will be emailed a link to the recording. \nRegister now. \nThis event is made possible by the Traverse des Sioux Library Cooperative.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Event: Lisa Jewell
DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to an exclusive preview event with New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jewell as she introduces readers to her forthcoming title Don’t Let Him In (Out June 24\, 2025!). Along with an introduction to her newest bone-chilling\, psychological thriller\, Jewell will chat about her life as a writer and her critically-acclaimed body of work. \nIn Don’t Let Him In\, three women are connected by one man in this kaleidoscopic thriller. \nNick Radcliffe is a man of substance and good taste. He has a smile that could melt the coldest heart and a knack for putting others at ease. He’s just what Nina Swann needed in her life after her husband’s unexpected death. But to Nina’s adult daughter\, Ash\, Nick seems too slick\, too polished\, too good to be true. Without telling her mother\, Ash begins digging into Nick’s past. What she finds is more than unsettling… \nThings don’t make sense and patience is wearing thin… \nMartha is a florist living in a neighboring town with her infant daughter and her devoted husband Alistair. But lately\, Alistair has been traveling more and more frequently for work\, disappearing for days at a time. When Martha questions him about his frequent absences\, he always has a legitimate explanation. But Martha can’t shake the feeling that something isn’t right\, despite her husband calling her mad and insisting they know everything there is to know about one another. \nNina\, Martha\, and Ash are on a collision course with a shocking truth that is far darker than anyone could have imagined. And all three are about to wish they had heeded the same warning: Don’t let him in. But the past won’t stay buried forever. \nThis event will be recorded and people who register will be emailed a link to the recording. \nRegister now. \nThis event is made possible by the Traverse des Sioux Library Cooperative. The event is held in coordination with Library Speakers Consortium and presented by Waseca-Le Sueur Regional Library System.
