*******************************

Where: Books of Wonder, 18 W. 18th St, NY NY 10011

When: April 24, 2010, 12 noon - 2 PM (panel), 2 PM - 5 PM (signing)

DD visits Manhattan's favorite children's book store to celebrate the release of Book 9 in the Young Wizards series, A Wizard of Mars.

The event opens with a two-hour panel featuring DD and several NY-area young adult and children's book writers (names soon to be announced). After the panel there'll be a break for refreshments from the famous Cupcake Cafe next door.

Then the launch party kicks off at approximately 2 PM and runs until around 5, while DD signs books and generally hangs out with her guests.

Books of Wonder will shortly be updating their events page with more details about the party, and a link where attendees can pre-order copies for signing. You can also call the bookstore directly for pre-orders and info on the number of books each person may bring for signing besides those purchased: call 212-989-3270.

Come join DD on Saturday, April 24th and help Mars invade New York (or maybe the other way around)!

If you're planning to attend, please RSVP at the party's entry on DD's Facebook fan page.
