Do you know a kid who looooooves a survival story? We're talkin' WILDERNESS HACKS and *making* a wilderness hack with author Joslin Brorsen on Thursday, June 25 at 6:00pm at Booked! In WILDERNESS HACKS, two middle schoolers get lost in the woods together: a survivalist YouTube star and the unwitting winner of a contest to hang out with him (but she's only doing it for her little brother). It's funny AND you kids just might learn something! Join us at the store to meet Joslin and have some survival fun! RSVP for this free event at https://tinyurl.com/wilderhacks!
