We are so excited to host a LAUNCH event for author Katie Bernet, who will be traveling all the way to us from Texas! Katie's debut YA thriller, Beth Is Dead, is a bold contemporary reimagining of the beloved classic Little Women. Beth March’s sisters will stop at nothing to track down her killer—until they begin to suspect each other. Kirkus gave Beth is Dead a starred review, calling it "a thrilling take on a beloved story that will keep readers riveted."
Katie will be joined in conversation by local author Annie Cardi. We hope you'll join us!
