Join Red Balloon Bookshop for a celebration of local author Erin Soderberg Downing's new middle grade novel, WHAT HAPPENED THEN!
About this Event

In this alternating narrative by bestselling author Erin Soderberg Downing, a decades-old family secret is buried within the sand, water, and woods… waiting for cousins Avery and Jax to find it and uncover the truth. Enjoy a talk, Q&A, and book signing with the author at Red Balloon Bookshop.

To attend: This event is open to the public, but registration helps us when considering spatial constraints. You can register for a ticket for free through September 13, 2:00pm, and preorder a copy of the book . Additional copies of What Happened Then will be available for purchase during the event, but ordering ahead guarantees your copy.

Signing Guidelines: Following the event, Erin Soderberg Downing will sign and personalize copies of the book. If you would prefer not to stay for the signing portion, Red Balloon can have your books signed and personalized for you and will contact you when they're ready to be picked up.

Accessibility: Red Balloon Bookshop is wheelchair accessible and has a disability parking spot directly behind our store. If you have a disability or medical condition and have questions about or need other specific accommodations, please email [email protected] or call 651-224-8320.

Code of Conduct: Red Balloon strives to create a kind, safe, and welcoming space where everyone is treated fairly and thoughtfully, regardless of age, race, ethnicity, religious affiliation, gender, sexual orientation, or ability.

We ask that everyone—booksellers and customers alike—follow these standards whether in our shared physical space or online.
