Book reading / signing

Luke Reynolds, author of THE LOONEY EXPERIMENT* and a 7th grade English teacher in the public school system in Harvard, MA, will be reading from and signing copies of his middle grade novel.

October 9th, 7:00 pm
The Blue Bunny Bookstore, Dedham, MA

*THE LOONEY EXPERIMENT: Atticus Hobart couldn’t feel lower. He’s an 8th grader who is in love with a girl who doesn’t know he exists, he is the class bully’s personal punching bag, and to top it all off, his dad has just left the family. Into this drama steps Mr. Looney, a 77-year-old substitute English teacher with uncanny insight and a most unconventional approach to teaching. But Atticus soon discovers there’s more to Mr. Looney’s methods than he’d first thought. And as Atticus begins to unlock the truths within his own name, he finds that his hyper-imagination can help him forge his own voice, and maybe—just maybe—discover that the power to face his problems was inside him all along.
