About this event
Event lasts 1 hour
If we had to create an apocalypse survival team, Terry Benton- Walker and Karen Strong would be our top picks, for sure. They’re smart, resourceful, and funny (to keep the morale high), which coincidentally are also traits we want for author events! You can see Terry and Karen in action (at an author event, not the apocalypse) on September 24th at Little Shop as they tell us all about Terry’s newest installment of the Alex Wise series, Alex Wise vs. the Cosmic Shift, an apocalyptic middle grade adventure perfect for fans of Percy Jackson! Join us for a night of books, laughs, and survival plans! See below for more deets:

About the book:
Alex Wise is no superhero. Or at least, he doesn’t feel like one. Sure, he vanquished Death and saved his sister Mags””with the help of some new magic powers, his best friend Loren and demi-god Liam. But the apocalypse shows no signs of slowing down. Now, Alex and his friends will have to find new allies and face new dangers””from battling a giant snake in a literal ghost town and infiltrating the Horsemen’s new home base on the Vegas Strip”¦on the back of a dragon.
With everyone looking to him for answers, Alex isn’t sure he’s cut out for this world saving thing. And the closer he gets to Liam, the farther away he feels from Loren and from Mags, who hasn’t been the same since she was possessed by Death. How can Alex lead a team if he doesn’t even feel like he deserves to be a part of it?
