About this Event

An Incredible Dog!


New York Times bestselling author MICHAEL SAMPSON and illustrator Lauren Phelps are joining us for the launch of their amazing new middle grade novel: !


JoJo wasn't always JoJo -- and he wasn't always a Tornado Dog. First, he was Joey, the Australian cattle dog whom his family, the Bañueloses, loved ever so much. But after a nasty tornado sweeps through his neighborhood, Joey is left alone.


Taken to an animal shelter, he meets the lovely caretaker Camila. It's this fateful encounter that links JoJo with the Underhound Railroad and lays the path for his journeys across the United States. Now he whirls like a tornado between owners and families of different backgrounds, escapes more death-defying encounters, accomplishes heroic deeds, and embarks on joyful adventures!


Come grab a seat as we celebrate the release of this thrilling, heartwarming tale.


Saturday, April 11th at 2pm Our 17th St Store!
