Gretchen McNeil, Robin Benway, Jessi Kirby, and Tamara Ireland Stone sign in San Diego

Event date: 
Friday, July 17, 2015 - 7:30pm

Join us in welcoming these fabulous four YA authors Gretchen McNeil (Get Dirty), Robin Benway (Emmy & Oliver), Jessi Kirby (Things We Know by Heart), and Tamara Ireland Stone (Every Last Word). Gretchen will sign and discuss the second in her Don’t Get Mad series which can be thought of as The Breakfast Club meets Pretty Little Liars. The four girls aren’t just mad anymore — they’re afraid as they try to discover a killer’s identity while their personal lives fall apart. In Robin’s latest book, Emmy & Oliver, Emmy thought she and Oliver were to be best friends forever until he disappeared only to return years later. Jessi will discuss her latest, Things We Know by Heart, featuring Quinn Sullivan who seeks out the recipients of her boyfriend’s donated organs. Tamara’s Every Last Word tackles OCD and the struggles of high school junior, Samantha, as she constantly battles personal demons and dark thoughts.

 The members of Don't Get Mad aren't just mad anymore . . . they're afraid. And with Margot in a coma and Bree under house arrest, it's up to Olivia and Kitty to try to catch their deadly tormentor. But just as the girls are about to go on the offensive, Ed the Head reveals a shocking secret that turns all their theories upside down. The killer could be anyone, and this time he or she is out for more than just revenge.

The girls desperately try to discover the killer's identity as their personal lives are falling apart: Donte is pulling away from Kitty and seems to be hiding a secret of his own, and Olivia's mother is on an emotional downward spiral. The killer is closing in, the threats are becoming more personal, and when the police refuse to listen, the girls have no choice but to confront their anonymous friend . . . or die trying.

Emmy and Oliver were going to be best friends forever, or maybe even more, before their futures were ripped apart. In Emmy's soul, despite the space and time between them, their connection has never been severed. But is their story still written in the stars? Or are their hearts like the pieces of two different puzzles impossible to fit together?

Emmy just wants to be in charge of her own life. . . . She wants to stay out late, surf her favorite beach go anywhere without her parents' relentless worrying. But Emmy's parents can't seem to let her grow up not since the day Oliver disappeared.

Oliver needs a moment to figure out his heart. . . . He'd thought, all these years, that his dad was the good guy. He never knew that it was his father who had kidnapped him and kept him on the run. Discovering it, and finding himself returned to his old hometown, all at once, has his heart racing, and his thoughts swirling.

Spa days. VIP concert tickets. The envy of the girls in the lunchroom. Sixteen-year-old Samantha and her friends, the Crazy Eights, have it all-at least, that's what Samantha has always let everyone believe. Nobody can know the real Sam, the crazy girl with OCD. If they found out, it would cost her everything. But when an unlikely new friend introduces Sam to a secret society of student poets, speaking her truth becomes increasingly appealing. While the novel gets off to a misleading start as Sam battles violent, obsessive thoughts that are unlike anything else she experiences in the rest of the story, Stone does offer readers a fresh take on OCD by focusing on Sam's internal struggle as opposed to the external behaviors that are typically associated with the disorder. Sam is an endearing protagonist readers will find familiar and enjoy rooting for. And while the Eights come off as flat, stereotypical cool girls, the oddball members of Poet's Corner are genuinely intriguing. With the exception of Caroline, who introduces Sam to the group, and AJ, Sam's new boyfriend, who are fully developed, readers, like Sam, will be left wishing they'd been allowed to get to know the rest of the crew better.
