Red Balloon Bookshop is so excited to celebrate the launch of the first two books in MAGIC GEMS, the new chapter book series by Payal Doshi!
About this Event

Dragon Girls meets Love Puppies in this new chapter book series starring a group of friends who protect animals with magical gemstones! Hear all about the new books and create your own adventure character with Payal Doshi and fellow author Trisha Speed Shaskan at Red Balloon Bookshop. After the event, have the first two books in the series, Journey Beyond the Waterfall and Lost in the Crystal Caves signed by the author!

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 and preorder copies of the books . Additional copies of the books will be available for purchase during the event, but ordering ahead guarantees your copy.

Signing Guidelines: Following the event, Payal Doshi 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.
