Boston Book Festival

How do your favorite graphic novels make you double over in laughter with just a few comic frames?  Come to Kaboom! and learn about the antics in graphic novels from two of the most popular authors who make them. John Patrick Green, New York Times bestselling author of the InvestiGators series, writes his latest adventure about Mango and Dash, two detective alligators who are sure to make a splash! Jorge Cham writes Oliver’s Great Big Universe, the diary of a science-loving eleven year old, comparing the mysteries of the universe to the trials and crazy antics of his school life. In the session, Green and Cham will go pen to pen in a live DRAW-OFF! Come with your suggestions, some of them might be used to decide this graphics duel. Boston Public School’s very own head of libraries Liz Phipps-Soeiro will facilitate.
