Vancouver Writers Fest - Friendship and Fitting In (Grades 4–7) - virtual & in-person
2022-10-19 10:00 - 12:00 (America/Toronto) | Waterfront Theatre – Granville Island, 1412 Cartwright St, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6H 3R7, Canada
Finding friends and fitting in is always challenging—even more for kids when they move to a new community, or join a new team… or are secretly a lizard. At the Vancouver Writers Fest, these three graphic novels for Middle Grade kids show the turbulence of navigating new situations, from swim team to riding competitions to a new school, and offer solace and solutions for how to deal with this universal experience of figuring out what it means to belong. Kids will be engaged and reassured by Johnnie Christmas (Swim Team), Faith Erin Hicks (Ride On), and Jonathan Hill (Tales of a Seventh-Grade Lizard Boy). Grades 4–7.
This event is presented both in-person and virtually (on YouTube).

Suki is captured by the Fire Nation and brought to the Boiling Rock, a grim prison in the middle of a dormant volcano. Separated from Team Avatar and her Kyoshi Warrior sisters, she decides to build her own community among other prisoners.

Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong - new edition release date
2021-06-22 | PA
Charlie’s the laid-back captain of the basketball team. Nate is the neurotic, scheming president of the robotics club. But they are friends, however unlikely—until Nate declares war on the cheerleaders and the cheerleaders retaliate by making Charlie their figurehead in the ugliest class election campaign the school has ever seen. At stake? Student group funding that will either cover a robotics competition or new cheerleading uniforms, but not both.
Bad sportsmanship? Sure. Chainsaws? Why not. Running away from home on Thanksgiving to illicitly enter a televised robot deathmatch? Let’s do this!
First published in 2013, the new edition of Nothing Can Possibly Go Wrong by Prudence Shen, illustrated by Faith Erin Hicks, is released today!
