SUMMARY:The Hunting Moon Launch with Susan Dennard and Megan Whalen Turner
DESCRIPTION:We’re beyond thrilled to welcome back Susan Dennard to present the second book in her new series in conversation with Megan Whalen Turner. Two award winning\, New York Times bestselling authors in the house means a must not miss event! \nA book purchase is required to attend this event.

Please purchase your ticket here: https://schulerbooks-susanandmegan.eventbrite.com. \nAbout the Book\nThe Hunting Moon is the highly anticipated sequel to The Luminaries by New York Times bestselling author Susan Dennard. \nWinnie Wednesday has gotten everything she thought she wanted. She passed the deadly hunter trials\, her family has been welcomed back into the Luminaries\, and overnight\, she has become a local celebrity. \nThe Girl Who Jumped. The Girl Who Got Bitten. \nUnfortunately\, it all feels wrong. For one\, nobody will believe her about the new nightmare called the Whisperer that’s killing hunters each night. Everyone blames the werewolf\, even though Winnie is certain the wolf is innocent. \nOn top of that\, following her dad’s convoluted clues about the Dianas\, their magic\, and what happened in Hemlock Falls four years ago is leaving her with more questions than answers. \nThen to complicate it all\, there is still only one person who can help her: Jay Friday\, the boy with plenty of problems all his own. \nAs bodies and secrets pile up around town\, Winnie finds herself questioning what it means to be a true Wednesday and a true Luminary—and also where her fierce-hearted loyalties might ultimately have to lie. \n  \nAbout the Author:\nSusan Dennard is the award-winning\, New York Times bestselling author of the Witchlands series (now in development for TV from the Jim Henson Company)\, and the Something Strange and Deadly series\, in addition to short fiction published online. She also runs the popular newsletter for writers\, the Misfits and Daydreamers. When not writing or teaching writing\, she can be found rolling the dice as a Dungeon Master or mashing buttons on one of her way too many consoles. \nAbout the Conversationalist: \nMegan Whalen Turner is the New York Times–bestselling and award-winning author of five stand-alone novels set in the world of the Queen’s Thief. Return of the Thief marks her long-awaited conclusion to the epic and unforgettable story of the thief Eugenides—a story more than twenty years in the making. She has been awarded a Newbery Honor and a Boston Globe–Horn Book Honor and won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Young Adult Literature. She has twice been a finalist for the Andre Norton Award and won the Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Children’s Literature.
