About this Event

Build a Pal!

Join us for the launch of award-winning author LANCE RUBIN's middle grade debut: !


We follow Zed who has always been terrible making friends. With one exception -- his best friend, Rishti. But now that they're starting middle school, Zed and her are in all different classes, and worse, she's made a new, cooler friend that he can't seem to compete with. He feels left behind, like last year's MonoPhone.


That's when he comes across something on his mom's work computer: a top secret new app called MonoFriend. Soon, he's chatting with "Matt", an A.I. best friend. Matt is funny, he's smart, and he knows Zed better than anyone else, even Rishti. He also loves spending time with Zed -- but, as Zed is about to discover, he maybe loves it too much.


This a wonderful read that tackles so many important questions about friendship and loneliness in the age of A.I. It's hilariously terrifying, terrifyingly hilarious, and totally heartfelt. Come celebrate it with us in-store!


Saturday, September 6th at 3pm at Our 17th St Store!
