Love a good whodunit? Join us on February 1 and solve some mysterious mysteries with seven middle grade authors, while learning a little bit about what makes up a good story.
Books will be for sale through Once Upon a Time Bookstore and time will be set aside for autographs. Snacks and drinks will be available (for a small cash donation) throughout the event.
Solve the mystery first and you could win the secret prize! (What could it be?)
Costumes–ahem!–disguises are encouraged but not required.
