Will Henry joins us to sign copies of his new Wallace the Brave Adventure, All Hands on Deck! Snug Harbor, Rhode Island, is a paradise for childhood exploration—and home to the motley, good-natured cast of kids in the award-winning daily comic strip Wallace the Brave. In this full-color collection, Wallace chases big dreams: riding a giant ammonite down a 100-foot wave, turning his bathtub into a ball pit, and finding out whether the cracks in the school walls lead to another dimension. Joining him are best friends Spud, Amelia, and Rose. Will Henry is the creator behind Ordinary Bill and Wallace the Brave, both distributed on GoComics.com. His professional career began with his strip Room Mates, which was published in The Daily Campus during his time at the University of Connecticut. He draws his inspiration from everyday life and in the age of the smart-phone, he aims to re-create a world in which kids “still collect bugs and fly kites and eat ice cream cones upside-down.” No registration required for this in-store event.

It shares its property with Dragonfly Equestrian Center and is home to dozens of horses. On the property lies meadows, hiking trails, beautiful fields and Dragonfly Disc Golf.
