Bay Village Branch

Meeting Room A-116+B-117(75)

Join us when author Terri Libenson visits to discuss her middle-grade book, Surprisingly Sarah.

About the author:

As a Type A perfectionist, Terri Libenson hates to admit that she has any ex-friends. But as a mom (and former middle school student in the dark ages), she knows these things happen. She also knows how wonderful it is when friendships do work out. Terri is the New York Times bestselling author of the Emmie & Friends series and the cartoonist of the award-winning syndicated comic strip The Pajama Diaries (2006–2020). Terri has a husband, two daughters, and one poodle (all adorable). She lives in Cleveland, Ohio.

Secrets. Surprises. MIDDLE SCHOOL.

In Surprisingly Sarah, Sarah and Leo have been BFFs since they were little. They share everything... until Sarah starts crushing on Leo’s friend Ben. Then one day Sarah is suddenly faced with a big choice —

·        ask Ben to the school dance!

OR—

·        chicken out.

Either way, Sarah and Leo’s friendship will be put to the test. Which one would you choose?

Books will be available for purchase courtesy of Mac's Backs - Books on Coventry.
