Come meet New York Times best-selling author Meg Wolitzer on Thursday, September 22nd. She'll be reading from her debut children's book, The Fingerprints of Duncan Dorfman.
At first glance, Duncan Dorfman, April Blunt, and Nate Saviano don't seem to have much in common. Duncan is trying to look after his single mom and adjust to life in a new town while managing his newfound Scrabble superpower - he can feel words and pictures beneath his fingers and tell what they are without looking. April is pining for a mystery boy she met years ago and striving to be seen as more than a nerd in her family of jocks. And homeschooled Nate is struggling to meet his father's high expectations for success.
When these three unique kids are brought together at the national Youth Scrabble Tournament, each with a very different drive to win, their paths cross and stories intertwine . . . and the journey is made extraordinary with a perfect touch of magic. Readers will fly through the pages, anxious to discover who will take home the grand prize, but there's much more at stake than winning and losing.
Meg Wolitzer is the author of several critically acclaimed adult novels including The Ten Year Nap, The Position, and The Wife. She is a voracious Scrabble player and lives in New York with her husband and two sons.
