TAPPAN, NY, February 23, 2012 (Press-News.org) Book Bites for Kids, hosted by Suzanne Lieurance is a delightful way to interact with children's book authors, illustrators, publishers, editors, and publicists to learn more about the world of children's writing and publishing.
We are pleased to invite you to tune in at Book Bites for Kids to meet children's author, Lisa Harkrader as she discusses her new middle grade novel, The Adventures of Beanboy on Friday, February 24 at 2 pm CST.
About The Adventures of Beanboy: Tucker MacBean has been drawing comic books almost as long as he's been reading them. When his favorite comic has a contest for kids, he hopes he has finally found a way to fix his family—all he has to do is create the winning superhero sidekick, Introducing "Beanboy"—the first comic book character to truly harness the power of the bean for good. He is strong, he is relentless, and he can double in size overnight (if given enough water). With thoughtful characterizations and copious comic book illustrations, this laugh out-loud novel will have readers rooting for a superhero with true heart.
About the author: L.D. Harkrader's debut novel, AIRBALL: My Life in Briefs (Roaring Brook), described by SLJ as "a quirky combination of The Mighty ducks meets Captain Underpants," has been on state award lists in Kansas, Texas, Washington state, Florida, Maine and was a Bank Street College Best book of the year, a Texas Lonestar Award Nominee, a Junior Library Guild Selection, and New York Public Library Best book for the teen Age. She makes her home with her family on a farm in Kansas. Visit Hardraker http://www.ldharkrader.com
