Author Franny Billingsley: Swamp Witches and Big Bad Bunnies (Ages 11 and Up)

Award-winning author Franny Billingsley will be here to talk books! She's published two junior fiction books, one picture book, and one teen fiction book. Her latest, Chime, has just become a 2011 National Book Award Finalist. Chime opens with the line: "I've confessed to everything and I'd like to be hanged." It's about a girl called Briony, who lives in a swamp. Briony is a witch, and she thinks that she's a bad witch. It's either save the town using her witch powers and let them hang her for being a bad witch--or let the Boggy Mun destroy the town but keep her powers a secret.

Come meet Franny Billingsley and learn what it takes to become a National Book Award Finalist!
