Join us at the library for activities, snacks, and a special LIVE virtual presentation with award-winning author and summer reading champion Katherine Applegate!Please register here to receive a reminder, submit any questions you might have for Katherine, or receive a link to watch at home.Katherine will talk to us about her enthusiastically heartwarming novel in verse, Odder. Everyone wants to meet Odder, the Queen of Play. Odder spends her days off the coast of central California, practicing her underwater acrobatics and spinning the quirky stories for which she’s known. She’s a fearless daredevil, curious to a fault. But when Odder comes face-to-face with a hungry great white shark, her life takes a dramatic turn, one that will challenge everything she believes about herself―and about the humans who hope to save her.Katherine Applegate’s Odder is inspired by the true story of a Monterey Bay Aquarium program that pairs orphaned otter pups with surrogate mothers. This poignant and humorous tale, told in free verse, examines bravery and healing through the eyes of one of nature’s most beloved and charming animals.About the Author: Katherine Applegate is the Newbery Medal-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author of numerous books for young readers, including The One and Only Ivan, Wishtree, Crenshaw, the Endling series, the Roscoe Riley Rules chapter books series, and the Animorphs series.  She lives with her husband, who writes as the author Michael Grant, and their children in California.The target age range for this program is Grades 3-6.The Friends of Veterans Memorial Library sponsor this event.
