Northshire Saratoga: Katherine Applegate "Wombat Waiting"

Northshire Bookstore is delighted to welcome beloved children's book author and Newbery medalist Katherine Applegate to the Holiday Inn Saratoga Springs for an author talk and book signing celebrating her newest novel, Wombat Waiting.

From the Newbery Award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The One and Only Ivan and Odder comes a stunning middle grade standalone novel-in-verse about compassion, resilience, and surprising friendships, following a dog named Wombat in the aftermath of a catastrophic fire.

Wombat isn’t actually a wombat—but when the homeless dog is discovered, singed and ash-covered after a terrible fire destroys a community, someone tags her with the nickname and it sticks.

Katherine Applegate is the author of numerous books for young readers, including the One and Only series, the Endling series, Crenshaw, Wishtree, the Roscoe Riley Rules chapter books series, and the Animorphs series.

Please read the following event details carefully:

• Ms. Applegate will sign & personalize up to 3 books per person with names only.
• For those with more than three books, we will have pre-signed bookplates available.

• There will be a staff member at the signing table who will be happy to take a picture while you are having your books signed. However, there will be no pauses for posed photography.
