Teen Zone at the West Virginia Book Festival
The Teen Zone will have a booth in the marketplace at the West Virginia Book Festival where we will be playing Rock Band all weekend. We'll also be giving away freebies!
There will be two presenters of special interest to teens at the festival.
Join Bob McLeod, best known as co-creator and illustrator of The New Mutants, as he talks about graphic art and shares some techniques on drawing superheros.
Jennifer Bradbury will also be at the festival discussing how she fictionalized real life events to create her exciting new book Shift, and how you can use the same techniques in your own stories.
