August 12th, 2008 Tana

Bestselling author and Madison-area native Jacquelyn Mitchard will be appearing at the Sequoya Library on Thursday, August 14 at 7:00 p.m. to discuss and read from her newly published young adult novel The Midnight Twins.

Mitchard’s first novel, The Deep End of the Ocean, was named by USA Today as one of the ten most influential books of the past 25 years, second only to J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. The Deep End of the Ocean was chosen by Oprah as the first selection for her book club in 1996. Mitchard has written numerous works of fiction for adults, and has been nominated for the Orange Prize for Fiction in Britain. Recently, she has expanded her writings to books for young adults.

The Midnight Twins is the first in a trilogy of teen mysteries about identical twin sisters with psychic powers who were born on New Year’s Eve. The author will read from and discuss the novel. Refreshments will be served.

This event will benefit the new Sequoya Branch Library, and is co-sponsored by the Madison Public Library Foundation. For more information, please call 266-6385.
