Mac Barnett & Shawn Harris

Watermark is excited to host author Mac Barnett and illustrator Shawn Harris for their new book, The First Cat In Space and the Wrath of the Paperclip, which is the third of the First Cat in Space series for the bestselling duo. Prepare to meet an evil paperclip, space dinos, and another adorable bunny. Mac & Shawn also reveal their tried-and-true method of scoring free dessert at restaurants. They will be at The Dome at Exploration Place talking about their new book as well as doing a book signing afterward of the new and previous books. This will be at The Exploration Place on Monday, November 11th at 11 am. We would love to see you there! Tickets come with a copy of the book!!*

4.5 billion years ago . . . an AI paperclip named CheckMate was designed to fix grammatical errors. Exhausted of correcting "who” vs. “whom,” it concocted a plan to eliminate spelling errors once and for all. All life-forms would be turned into something beautiful, practical, perfect: a paperclip.

Thankfully, it was buried in the debris. Long forgotten . . . until it was accidentally freed. Now CheckMate has invaded every computer on Earth and is bent on fulfilling its dastardly plot. There's only one trio who can save the day: the First Cat in Space, the Moon Queen, and LOZ 4000. But when CheckMate zoops First Cat's spacesuit, our titular hero is now powerless. The fate of the world depends on...a regular little kitty cat.

Will everyone in the universe become school supplies?!

*Books will be held for one year from purchase of book. After one year books will be donated to charity.
