In this virtual event, Raphael Simon, A.K.A. Pseudonymous Bosch, the New York Times bestselling author of THE NAME OF THIS BOOK IS SECRET, joins us to share his darkly funny middle grade novel THE ANTI-BOOK. The book is about a boy reeling from his parents’ divorce and from anti-gay bullying who wants the world to disappear, and about what happens when it does. The School Library Journal gave the book a starred review saying, "Simon’s omniscient narrator speaks to readers with equal parts humor, sarcasm, and intrigue. Short, quick-moving chapters, filled with dialogue and action, will keep the interest of its target audience . . . the strange, fantastical nature of this book is a fresh and welcome remix of the coming-of-age genre." During this event, Raphael will discuss his process of writing THE ANTI-BOOK and answer audience questions.
