Cruising on the board walk
This week, your fellow bird brains are going to be heading down to Atlantic City for the AC Boardwalk Con. We'll be there four whole days from Thursday to Sunday! Stop by table # 1710 and say "bird's the word" for discounts and friendly banter. We love hooking up our fans while we chat with them, so hopefully it will be equal parts former and later.
If you haven't heard of ACBC, our AC Boardwalk Con page has info on tickets and event details. Be warned, most of the cast of CW's Flash and Arrow will be there, as will many of their fans. Alex's niece flipped out when she heard, begging him to kidnap Stephen Amell for her. Since he's not going to be there this weekend, she might have to settle for Tom Cavanagh.
Yet another restraining order to add to the list.
When you stop by, we'll have the whole lineup of books for you. Feel free to reserve your copies now and pick them up at the show. We're all about convenience.
Hope you join us. As always, we are looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones!
-The Wayward Raven Crew
What is a sirrush?
Truthfully? Even Percy doesn't know. A sirrush is a mythical creature from ancient Babylon — lion, eagle, and dragon rolled into one. And Percy, our hero, is one. He just doesn't know it yet.
The quest
So Percy sets off across many lands to find others like himself, meeting strange new characters (not, it turns out, sirrushes) along the way. It's a classic adventure about being a little different — and finding your people anyway.
Great for young readers (and their grown-ups)
Big, detailed art and a gentle heart make this a natural for bedtime, storytime, and classroom read-alouds. The friendly lesson at the center? Different is fine. Actually, it's better. Dream up the gift: this picture book for a 6-to-10-year-old who loves dragons that aren't quite dragons.
