Aria and Nainai are back in this sweet and magical middle-grade, full-color graphic novel about a mysterious ancient monster and the quest to set it free. Enjoy a chat with Nidhi Chanani about the series, a book signing, and more!
To attend: This event is open to the public, but registration helps us when considering spatial constraints. You can register for a ticket for free through September 19, 4:00pm, and order a copy of the book on Red Balloon's website. Additional copies of Super Boba Café: Home Sea Home will be available for purchase during the event, but ordering ahead guarantees your copy.
Signing Guidelines: Following the event, Nidhi Chanani will sign and personalize copies of the book. If you would prefer not to stay for the signing portion, Red Balloon can have your books signed and personalized for you and will contact you when they're ready to be picked up.
