Author D.J. MacHale Visit December 4

DJ MacHale Read PosterSYLO

The Mira Costa Library is delighted to welcome D.J. MacHale, a local, acclaimed author, to our school on December 4, 2013. Mr. MacHale will be speaking at three sessions in the library, sharing about his craft. Mr. MacHale’s books include the 10-book Pendragon series, the Morpheus Road trilogy, and his newest title, SYLO, the first book of a trilogy, just released last June. Students will have the opportunity to sign up to attend one of the sessions on a lottery basis, and all students who have read one or more of his books before the visit will be guaranteed a spot in one of the sessions. Some teachers will also be signing up to bring their entire classes for these session.

The library has copies of his books to borrow, but I encourage you to also purchase one or more of his books to enjoy and keep. All students who purchase books will have the opportunity to meet Mr. MacHale and have their books signed during Period 6 of the visit day. We have arranged with {pages} bookstore, a local Manhattan Beach independent book vendor, to order his titles, and a portion of your purchases will also benefit our library. Please print and complete order form to order books as soon as possible so that you will have ample time to read before Mr. MacHale’s visit.
