Author Victoria Johnson will be at the Coventry Mall Books-A-Million store on Saturday, Nov. 3, at 2 p.m. to sign copies of her children's book, "The Lemonade Standoff."

Read a Feb. 12, 2012, PhilllyBurbs.com story about Johnson, who is now 12 (that's right, she's TWELVE) but started writing this story when she was 10. In the article, Johnson offered this advice to other aspiring young authors: 

"Don't let a challenge stand in your way. Be brave."

Johnson is now in the 8th grade and resides in Warminster with her family.

He 28-page book sells for $9.99 and is available at the Pottstown Books-A-Million, via online retailers including Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com, and through the book's publisher, Tate Publishing, as a paperback, audio CD or ebook. 

Below is the brief press release I received from Tate Publishing about the event:

Author to sign copies of "As Big As My Head!" in Phoenixville

Later this month, I expect to be reading quite a few children's books when I visit my three nieces in Colorado for Christmas. However, in my normal, kid-free life I haven't kept up at all with the kid genre (I'm sure the 3, 7 and 9-year-old little girls will school me), but those of you who have might be interested to attend a local book-signing event.

Author Heidi A. Mark Book Signing Event
WHEN: 12-13-2008 (Saturday)

TIME: 3-5 p.m.

WHERE: Wolfgang Books, 237 Bridge St., Phoenixville, PA 19460

Tate Publishing describes the book as:

"Eric is having a birthday and wants to take in a special snack to share with his class! What can he take that will be the best? What he wants is not what Grandma had in mind. In this true story, rhyme along with Eric and his Grandma as they figure out what would be the perfect treat. With a little imagination and a little spunk, Eric and his Grandma create a birthday treat that turns out to be a big surprise! This is an eLIVE book, meaning each printed copy contains a special code redeemable for the free download of the audio version of the book."

While you are in Phoenixville, I highly recommend La Creperie for a delicious light brunch, Steel City Coffeehouse for a liquid boost, and the beautifully restored Colonial Theatre for a film. And if you're looking for a Guinness, stop by Molly Maguire's.
