Guess what! The Waupaca Area Public Library is hard at work organizing the first annual Waupaca Book Festival! The festival will be October 1st and 2nd, 2010. I'm so excited to tell you that we have confirmation from
JOHN GREEN and
PATRICK JONES. They will be here!
John Gr
een is the author of
Looking for Alaska,
An Abundance of Katherines,
Paper Towns, and
Let it Snow (with Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle). He has just finished writing another book, with David Levithan, which will be available in April. Keep your eyes open for
Will Grayson, Will Grayson. You can find John online in many different places. He and his brother Hank Green have been communicating by video for the past three years, and you can watch their interactions on YouTube--they even have their own channel (
VLOGBROTHERS). They also have an online community, called
