ALA 2010 Washington DC

The American Library Association Convention is one of the most inspiring events of the year. I love talking with librarians about the joys and challenges they face. Here are some snapshots with special thanks to my publishers Holiday House and Egmont USA for hosting me.

The poster for my tenth book, Edgar Allan’s Official Crime Investigation Notebook, is on display in the Holiday House book. I was honored to sign ARCS for librarians who stopped by. With me are Holiday House’s Pam Glauber and Terry Borzumato.
