Calvin has so many responsibilities to his father and little brothers that when his bike is stolen, he can’t make it to school on time. And while Liam is studious and wants to become a doctor, he is tormented by bullies and hides out in an unused janitor’s closet instead of going to class. When the boys are thrown together in detention, they realize that they might still have a lot to learn―not just from their teachers, but from each other.Absent tells the boys’ stories in three distinct voices: Manny’s in verse, Calvin’s as a comic, and Liam’s as a prose journal. Printz Award Honoree and YALSA Nonfiction Award winner Rex Ogle explores school absenteeism in a compelling, entertaining, and utterly distinct novel.About the author:Rex Ogle is the award-winning author of Free Lunch, Punching Bag, Abuela, Don’t Forget Me, Road Home, When We Ride and, most recently, Absent. He lives in Los Angeles, California.By purchasing a book from BookPeople, you are not only supporting a local, independent business – you’re showing publishers that they should continue sending authors to BookPeople.Thank you for supporting Rex Ogle and your local independent bookstore! - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/austin/bookpeople-presents-rex-ogle-absent/100001991718527732 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, workshops, music, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: BookPeople - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Austin - **state**: TX - **country**: United States - **location**: BookPeople - **lat**: 30.271987 - **long**: -97.7530036 - **full address**: BookPeople, 603 North Lamar Boulevard, Austin, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: BookPeople Presents: Rex Ogle - Absent - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/52d68e7c09385502e5b71e9031e3224b6b947a5b675754460be7eedc42f41ce7-rimg-w1200-h600-dc06042c-gmir.jpg?v=1782635392 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is BookPeople Presents: Rex Ogle - Absent being held? - **A:** BookPeople Presents: Rex Ogle - Absent takes place on Fri, 11 Sep, 2026 at 05:00 pm to Fri, 11 Sep, 2026 at 06:00 pm at BookPeople, 603 North Lamar Boulevard, Austin, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing BookPeople Presents: Rex Ogle - Absent? - **A:** BookPeople Presents: Rex Ogle - Absent is organized by BookPeople. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at BookPeople's events? - **A:** Attendees have given BookPeople a rating of 5/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
