CCPL Virtual Author Visit: Adam Gidwitz - A Tale Dark and Grimm

By Charles County Public Library

CCPL is proud to welcome Adam Gidwitz for a virtual author visit! Adam Gidwitz is the bestselling author of A TALE DARK AND GRIMM, IN A GLASS GRIMMLY, and THE GRIMM CONCLUSION, as well as THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK: SO YOU WANT TO BE A JEDI?, Newbery Honored novel, THE INQUISITOR’S TALE, and  THE UNICORN RESCUE SOCIETY series. He is also the creator of the podcast, GRIMM, GRIMMER, GRIMMEST and THE UNICORN RESCUE SOCIETY CARD GAME.
At this virtual event, Adam Gidwitz will discuss his book, A TALE DARK AND GRIMM, as well as the subsequent development of the Netflix adaptation of this book series.
From the author: “Generally, in talking to kids, I try to scare the bejeezus out of them. Once you’ve scared the bejeezus out of a child, there is a good chance he will sit still and listen for as long you keep talking. This is why my events typically begin with a real Grimm fairy tale. Not the sweet, cute, boring ones with singing mice and fairy godmothers. The real ones. After scaring the bejeezus out of the children, I invite questions. In answering these questions, I try to talk about writing, editing, imagination, and never giving up on your dreams. Especially if those dreams happen to be nightmares.”
This program will be followed by a brief Q & A.
