Rick Riordan not quite Book Release Party for The Red Pyramid on Friday, May 7th!

Rick is actually releasing this first book in The Kane Chronicles series in New York earlier in the week, but this is still pretty darn cool! The author of the phenomenal Percy Jackson & the Olympian books returns!!! This event is being co-hosted with the wonderful people at Emory University’s most excellent Michael C. Carlos Museum and will be held at Emory’s Glenn Memorial Auditorium.

Little Shop’s David Shallenberger tells DM that Riordan is “Little Shop’s best selling author in our five year history” and each time he makes an appearance “it just gets bigger, and this time it will be just plain huge.”

Little Shop of Stories is a DM sponsor

Dave at Little Shop writes in with details about their biggest event of the year (after the Decatur Book Festival.)

Little Shop of Stories is hosting Rick Riordan, author of the incredibly popular and critically acclaimed Percy Jackson & The Olympians series, on Monday, May 18th at the Decatur Recreation Center.

Doors will open at 3:30 and Rick will start his presentation at 4:30.

Book signing to follow.

Walk if you can or ride your bikes. The weather on Monday should be unseasonably awesome. The Marta Station is only a block and a half away. If you drive, please avoid using the Decatur Library lot. You may park at the Decatur First Baptist Church (at the corner of Commerce Drive and Clairemont). A shuttle will run you to the Rec Center.
