Join us at Bards Alley for a discussion with author Barbara Carroll Roberts (Nikki on the Line) on her new middle grade release The Metamorphosis of Bunny Baxter. All ages are welcome, as we encourage parents, teachers, librarians, and kids attend to hear all about Barbara's (extensive!) journey with this book, its research, and road to publishing.
This book is fantastic for readers aged 9-14, and we concede it might just be the next great American novel for your classroom! Barbara will be signing copies of her books after the discussion, and some themed snacks will be offered during the event!
About the book:If Bunny Baxter were an insect, she’d have so many ways to slip through seventh grade unnoticed. But she’s tall instead of tiny, has flaming red Medusa hair instead of camouflage, and she suffers from social anxiety, which makes it hard to be part of a swarm. Worst of all, she’s been redistricted to a new middle school away from her best friend who she could always hide behind when her anxiety got the best of her.
The first day at E.D. Britt Middle School does not go well. Bunny trips on the steps, falls into the cutest boy in the school, and causes a kid domino pile-up. At lunch, she unintentionally causes an uproar in the cafeteria, which lands her and another girl in the principal’s office. Bunny decides there is only one option: to get expelled so she can transfer to the school her best friend attends.
She soon discovers that it isn’t that hard to get in trouble—don’t turn in your homework, walk around the track instead of run in P.E., pretend you deliberately hit someone with a badminton birdie. What isn’t so easy for Bunny is realizing she now has a reputation as a troublemaker. And even more confusing, when it looks like her plan to get expelled might work, she’s no longer sure what to do.
The Metamorphosis of Bunny Baxter is a heartfelt coming of age story about an insect-loving girl who is learning to grow into herself—quirks and all.
