Join local author (and Curious Iguana bookseller) Melinda Beatty for a special reading of her new book What is a Pirate? A fun craft will follow the storytime and copies of the book will be available for purchase.  For accessibility requests, email events@curiousiguana.com at least two (2) weeks prior to the event. About the book: From the team that brought you The Witch's Table comes another hilarious and charming story about what exactly makes a pirate a pirate! I am a pirate, so I guess pirates do. The crew aboard the Leaky Sneaker is filled with the piratey-est pirates ever to sail the seven seas. Which is why Captain Bogbrush has no idea what to do with Montague Frippington von Fancypants. Montague wears petticoats while sailing, takes pearl necklaces as booty, and politely plunders on raids. Pirates don't do that! Or can Montague help the captain understand that there is more to being a pirate than what he might believe? About the author: Melinda Beatty has had years of practice trying to explain to others why she was just having an imaginary conversation between two people that don't exist, so becoming a writer seemed like the best way to stop everyone from looking at her funny. After years of narrowboat living on the English canals, she and her British husband are now back on dry land in Maryland, where by day, she's a mild-mannered indie bookseller, and by night, she wrangles words, crafts projects, and raises a Labrador and two fierce miniwomen.

About the book: When the Weirdies' parents come back from the dead, chaos ensues in this darkly humorous sequel to the nationally bestselling The Weirdies, perfect for fans of The Swifts and A Series of Unfortunate Events! The Weirdie triplets are miserable, and their horrible parents are to blame. Barnacle, Melancholy, and Garlic have been burdened with the arduous chore of finding their bank-robbing grandfather’s lost fortune hidden somewhere in the Weirdie mansion. Deadeye Manor was built around a whole entire bank, and their parents want every last penny. But the triplets long to be reunited with Miss Emily, the lovely adoptive mother they were ripped away from. Undeterred, she’ll stop at nothing to get her three mischievous children back, even if it means sneaking into Deadeye manor itself, where hooligans and criminals are now taking up residence!  Will the Weirdies and Miss Emily find their way back to each other, or are they doomed to never see one another again? About the author: Michael Buckley is the New York Times bestselling author of The Sisters Grimm and NERDS series and the cocreator, writer, and executive producer of Cartoon Network’s Robotomy. He lives in New York City with his son, Finn and their wonder pup, Friday. He invites you to visit him online at michaelbuckleywrites.com and Instagram at @whatsupbuckley.
