Young Adult Author Yvonne Prinz!

Teen Girls, get a hip and fun jump to your summer reading with Yvonne Prinz, author of the acclaimed young adult novels, All You Get is Me and Vinyl Princess. Her latest, All You Get is Me, is the story of 16-year old Roar, a city girl who is transplanted into the middle of nowhere on an organic farm. Believe it or not, everything happens in the middle of nowhere - love, loss, justice...and chickens.

In award-winning Vinyl Princess, we meet sixteen-year-old Allie, a record store employee whose obsession with music and vinyl records perfectly captures the flavor of Berkeley's Telegraph Avenue. The novel's skillfully drawn cast of characters is infused with humor, romance, unexpected plot twists, all revolving around Berkeley's unique brand of California culture. Prinz, the co-founder of the legendary Amoeba Records, the world's largest independent record store found her inspiration for this novel both at work and through her love of rock 'n' roll.

Yvonne Prinz is also the author of the Clare series and a resident of Lafayette.

The event is free.
