Northern California author Jennifer Liss will be at Mrs. Dalloway’s Bookstore chatting with her fans and signing copies of her children’s book Wide Eye. She’ll be at the store on Sunday, October 11 from 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM so come on down and join the fun.
A whimsical adventure story about a young girl, a wacky museum, and a local monster, exploring the transformative power of imagination.
Every year, 10-year-old Meridian spends her summer with Grandpa Frank on Wide Eye Lake, where she helps out at his quirky museum dedicated to the mysterious Wide Eye monster.
But this year, something is different. Tasked with organizing the museum’s old files, Meridian stumbles across more than just faded photos and scribbled sightings of mysterious paw prints. Hidden among the clutter are some old mementos that unlock a long-buried family secret—one that turns her entire world upside down.
Not only does Meridian have a family mystery to solve, but this summer she has to avoid 2 prankster classmates who just so happen to be vacationing nearby. Summer at Wide Eye Lake really isn’t turning out to be the magical escape it used to be. Can Meridian rediscover the magic of the lake and the local stories she once loved, or will her family be forever changed?
Wide Eye is a heartwarming, family-focused middle-grade adventure that explores the power of imagination and the healing nature of friendship.
