SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Jenny Andrus reads from & signs Elsa’s Chessboard - Includes Art Activity
DESCRIPTION:Elsa carries her chessboard everywhere\, always ready for a game. When World War II forces her from Europe\, can chess help make America home? \nGrowing up in 1900s Vienna\, Elsa’s brothers are always playing chess. “No girls!” they tell her when she first asks to learn; but she wears them down\, and soon she’s such a pro that they give her a special chess set of her own. \nElsa plays chess whenever she can. When she grows up\, she even meets her husband over games in the park. But when World War II grips Europe\, the young Jewish family flees to America\, where they find themselves surrounded by unfamiliar languages. \nLuckily\, Elsa knows one language that can always bring people together: chess! \nMillions of Americans are falling in love with chess\, and young people are no exception.  Based on the life of author Jenny Andrus’s grandmother\, Elsa’s Chessboard is a gripping tale of resilience\, human connection\, and the boundless potential of women in male-dominated fields.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Matthew Forsythe reads from & signs Aggie & the Ghost
DESCRIPTION:“A book that captures the dance of unlikely bonds and a way to move from a place of acceptance.” –Publishers Weekly (starred review) \nFrom Matthew Forsythe\, the creator of the acclaimed and beloved Pokko and the Drum\, comes a surprising and pleasing picture book about rules. And sharing. And an epic game of tic-tac-toe. \nAggie is very excited to live on her own–until she finds out her new house is haunted. But no fear\, the situation is nothing that can’t be fixed with a carefully considered list of rules: No haunting after dark. No stealing socks. No eating all the food. \nBut the ghost doesn’t like playing by the rules and challenges Aggie to an epic game of tic-tac-toe–winner gets the house.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Ezra Edmund reads from & signs Cerberus The Tiger: The Tiger Saga
DESCRIPTION:Cerberus The Tiger: A Middle Grade Portal Fantasy Adventure Full of Mystery\, Science\, and Myth Cerberus The Tiger (The Tiger Saga\, Book One) \nCerberus saw the portal open. He saw the beast come through. Now he’ll risk everything to uncover the truth… and stop it from happening again. \nTen years ago\, Cerberus witnessed something no one else believes. His father\, a brilliant scientist\, opened a portal in their lab\, and a towering two-headed beast came through. Cerberus watched it take his father. Everyone else called it an accident. He wanted to believe them. \nNow\, a strange energy signal pulses with the same pattern from that night. It should be impossible. But it could mean that his father is still alive. Somewhere. \nWith help from Ricky\, a childhood friend turned controversial researcher\, Cerberus begins tracking ancient energy pulses and fractured time. At the center is MonFus\, a strange force binding lost worlds and missing creatures. But each test risks waking something older… something that has waited long enough. \nCerberus is pulled into an unfamiliar world filled with forgotten cities\, dangerous beasts\, and suspicious allies. High above\, a dark castle looms\, its roots sunk into rivers of glowing magma. Something waits inside. And it remembers him. \nIf Cerberus fails\, he may lose more than his father. He could unleash a villain powerful enough to bend time itself. \nHe wants the truth. But the truth might come at a terrible cost.

With the help of an alluring former-detective-turned-bookseller\, she unravels a deadly cover-up on campus. \nThis well-crafted\, voice-driven mystery introduces an unforgettable crime fiction heroine.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: D.J. Waldie discusses & signs Elements of Los Angeles: Earth\, Water\, Air\, and Fire
DESCRIPTION:In Elements of Los Angeles: Earth\, Water\, Fire\, Air\, acclaimed essayist D.J. Waldie continues his singular meditation on Los Angeles: a place of contradictions\, dreams\, and disquiet. With uncommon clarity and emotional depth\, Waldie considers Los Angeles as a place of both promise and disillusionment\, of civic memory and strategic forgetting\, of natural beauty and environmental fragility. Each of the four classical elements forms the basis for a profound and poetic reassessment of the city’s image\, exploring topics as diverse and resonant as the unlikely history of the Hass avocado\, the St. Francis Dam disaster\, an endurance contest that saw a young woman buried alive\, and the sound of Vin Scully’s voice carried across the summer air.
