Meet Lisa McMann, author of Clarice the Brave. From Penguin Random House, “Clarice is a young ship mouse grieving the loss of her mother when a mutiny forces her onto a small, leaky boat with a dangerous cat. Worse, she is separated from her younger brother, Charles Sebastian, who is trapped aboard the great ship. Clarice and Charles Sebastian were taught to always be careful—but they will need to grow bold if they are to survive…and find one another again.”
The program includes a group discussion with the author and personal interactions. Stick around afterwards to meet Matt McMann, author of the Monsterious series.
Lisa McMann is a New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of dozens of books, including The Unwanteds series and the Wake trilogy. She is married to fellow writer Matt McMann, and they have two adult children. Her son is artist Kilian McMann, and her daughter is actor Kennedy McMann. Lisa spends most of her time in Arizona, California and Vancouver, BC. She loves to cook, read and watch reality TV.
