Both copies of her books will be available for purchase at the event. Interested parties can reserve their copies ahead of time on Eventbrite.  Nowhere Better Than Here  For thirteen-year-old Jillian Robichaux, three things are sacred: bayou sunsets, her grandmother Nonnie’s stories, and the coastal Louisiana town of Boutin that she calls home. When the worst flood in a century hits, Jillian and the rest of her community band together as they always do―but this time the damage may simply be too great. After the local school is padlocked and the bridges into town condemned, Jillian has no choice but to face the reality that she may be losing the only home she’s ever had. But even when all hope seems lost, Jillian is determined to find a way to keep Boutin and its indomitable spirit alive. With the help of friends new and old, a loveable golden retriever, and Nonnie’s storytelling wisdom, Jillian does just that in this timely and heartfelt story of family, survival, and hope. In her stunning debut middle grade novel, Sarah Guillory has written a lush story about an indomitable girl fighting against the effects of climate change. Gus and Glory  Twelve-year-old Gloria St. Romain, Glory to everyone who knows her, has always loved mysteries. She spends her time solving puzzles and reading Agatha Christie books, comforted by the knowledge that truth can always be found for those who look closely enough for it. But when her mom suddenly leaves without a word, Glory is finally faced with the one mystery she can't crack: Why did her mom leave, and where did she go? Sent to spend the summer with her grandparents, Glory is determined to sniff out the clues to track down her mom. And when Glory comes upon Gus, a bloodhound in need of a friend, she realizes she's been paired with the perfect partner to do just that. With accessible text and a compulsively readable story, Gus and Glory is a perfect pick for upper elementary and middle school readers. Sarah GuillorySarah Guillory is a high school English teacher and author of the middle-grade novels Gus and Glory and Nowhere Better Than Here, which was named a Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year and earned four starred reviews. She loves walking her dogs, sitting under a tree with a book, or running countless miles before the sun has even come up. Sarah lives in Louisiana with her husband and dogs, who, unlike Gus, are only experts at finding the kitchen.
