Virtual Event: A Chat with YA and Adult Author Edward Underhill

Transgender YA and Adult author Edward Underhill will be joining Boyden Library to discuss his two newest books; “The In Between Bookstore” (Adult debut released in January 2025) and “In Case You Read This” (YA released in May 2025) with Boyden Public Library's Teen Librarian, Jennifir Huston. Please register HERE to attend. When registering for a Zoom event, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting online. RECORDING NOTE: This program will be recorded. All registrants will receive the recording via email within 48 hours of the program. “The In-Between Bookstore” is a poignant and enchanting novel about a magical bookstore that transports a trans man through time and brings him face-to-face with his teenage self, offering him the chance of a lifetime to examine his life and identity to find a new beginning. In “In Case You Read This,” Arden and Gabe randomly meet in the lobby of a motel in Nebraska, and it feels like fate. Both are trans, but more importantly, both are huge fans of the band Damaged Pixie Dream Boi. Clearly, the universe is trying to tell them something. Right? But after an incredible evening of hanging out, the pair part ways only knowing the other’s first name. And as both boys struggle to adjust to their new homes, their thoughts keep being drawn back to their time together. Is one perfect night enough to bring Arden and Gabe back to each other, or will the boys need some help to find each other again? Edward Underhill grew up in the suburbs of Wisconsin, where he could not walk to anything, so he had to make up his own adventures. He studied music in college, spent several years living in very small apartments in New York, and currently resides in California with his partner and a talkative black cat. He is the author of the young adult novels “Always the Almost” and “This Day Changes Everything.” “The In-Between Bookstore” is his first book for adults. This program is hosted by the Boyden Library, Foxborough, is brought to you in collaboration with a multitude of MA & NH libraries, and is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library. The Abbot Public Library extends its gratitude to the Ashland Public Library for generously providing Zoom access for this event, enabling collaboration with numerous libraries across Massachusetts.
