One of our favorite authors, Jerry Spinelli, returns to Harleysville Books to introduce his newset middle grade novel Hokey Pokey!

There is no better way to push the winter blahs away than meeting one of our favorite writing celebrities. You've read his books like Wringer, Star Girl and Milkweed, now read Hokey Pokey.

Welcome to Hokey Pokey. A place and a time, when childhood is at its best: games to play, bikes to ride, experiences to be had. There are no adults in Hokey Pokey, just kids, and the laws governing Hokey Pokey are simple and finite. But when one of the biggest kids, Jack, has his beloved bike stolen—and by a girl, no less—his entire world, and the world of Hokey Pokey, turns to chaos. Without his bike, Jack feels like everything has started to go wrong. He feels different, not like himself, and he knows something is about to change. And even more troubling he alone hears a faint train whistle. But that's impossible: every kid knows there no trains in Hokey Pokey, only tracks.

Master storyteller Jerry Spinelli has written a dizzingly inventive fable of growing up and letting go, of leaving childhood and its imagination play behind for the more dazzling adventures of adolescence, and of learning to accept not only the sunny part of day, but the unwelcome arrival of night, as well.

Because Harleysville Books will be closed for vacation from Dec. 29-Jan. 6, advance registration for this event is not required. Copies of Hokey Pokey will be available for sale at the event. Attendance will be free when you purchase your copy of Hokey Pokey. One book purchase per family is required to attend. Books from home will only be allowed to be brought in to be signed if time permits.

If you cannot attend this event but would like a personalized, signed copy of Hokey Pokey or any of Jerry Spinelli's books, please contact the store at 215-256-9311 to make arrangements.
