SUMMARY:Author Reading: John Young & Charlie Hopper
DESCRIPTION:Join John Young & Charlie Hopper on June 15th at 2 pm for a reading\, discussion\, & signing of their works!\n\n\nJoin local authors\, John Young and Charlie Hopper\, for a reading\, author discussion\, and signing of their books. John will be reading from his book Getting Huge. Charlie will be reading from his children’s book Thank You Day! \nThis event is recommended for all ages! \nAll proceeds from book sales at Indy Reads support our English literacy programming. \n\n\n\nGetting Huge \nThis often-comic novel is for all who’ve worked with the wrong people in the wrong place\, and ached to escape―to start something new and find a sense of belonging. \nWhat begins as backyard diversion swells into an absurd obsession: to grow the world’s largest pumpkin and to build a pumpkin empire making everything from snacks to toilet paper. All to win him fame and fortune (and perhaps the affection of an alluring neighbor). Reverend John Crackstone sees his pumpkins\, especially the giant named Schwartz\, as his shot at greatness. And it becomes his chance to flip the tables on his affluent and perpetually disappointed deacons. \nWhile often comic\, Getting Huge resonates with the Great Resignation and quiet quitting\, as it shows how the pursuit of other people’s goals and ideas of success can cloud judgment. Until we are jolted into clarity and head for the hills. \n\n\n\nThank You\, Day! \nA young girl bursts with gratitude for all that the day has brought. \n“While children are often taught to show gratitude for people and things\, this book provides space for reveling in the natural world and the bounty therein. A lovely opportunity to stop and smell the roses–and say thank you.” -Kirkus Reviews \n\n\n\nMeet the Author: John Young \nA native of Indianapolis\, John Young is the author of two literary novels: Getting Huge and When the Coin Is in the Air\, as well as Fire in the Field & Other Stories. When he was eight years old\, John told his mother he wanted to be a scientist or a clown. So he went into advertising and figures he got pretty close. Along the way\, he graduated from Indiana University and earned an MFA from Emerson College\, Boston. \nAfter 20 years in Massachusetts\, he now lives with his wife and two kids in Cincinnati\, Ohio. \n\n\n\nMeet the Author: Charlie Hopper \nCharlie Hopper is a songwriter who lives and works in Indianapolis\, Indiana. Thank You\, Day! is his first picture book.”If you want to expand it a little:”Charlie Hopper lives and works in Indianapolis\, where he writes advertisements\, songs\, and other things. Thank You\, Day! is his first picture book.” \n\n\n\nThis event is Pay-What-You-Can.
