"The Dragons of Graham" Book Signing with author Baird Nuckolls, May 11th at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes local author Baird Nuckolls as she discusses her new young-adult novel "The Dragons of Graham".

***Saturday, May 11th, 2-4pm***

About the book:

Who knew dragons were so demanding? All the dragons at Graham want something. The band dragon is hoarding silver. The dragon in the girls' locker room wants more water, and the library dragon wants his own library card. One even wants her sister, Rosie, as a snack. Blech!

Katie has to learn how to navigate the halls of her new middle school, deal with the populars, and try not to lose her best friend, Maia, all while figuring out how to satisfy the members of a mythical race she didn't even know existed.

Both of Baird Nuckolls' daughters attended Graham Middle School and the story of the dragons of Graham developed during their time there. She is happy to have brought them to the attention of more kids, who may have a chance to find them.

About the author:

Baird is an author and literary editor. Her first middle grade novel, "The Dragons of Graham" was released in March,. Her short stories have been published on-line and in print. She has been an assistant editor at Narrative Magazine for over three years and also provides contract editing for individual clients across the country.​​​​​​​​​​ She lives in the Bay Area.
