For all ages! A howl in the distance. The biggest footprint you’ve ever seen. These are the indicators that lead us to believe there is something out there—Bigfoot. James "Bobo" Fay, Matt Moneymaker, Cliff Barackman, and Ranae Holland, the trackers from Animal Planet’s runaway hit, Finding Bigfoot, have spent years gathering evidence to support the hypothesis that Bigfoot exists, and it's now all compiled in a highly designed book, written by Martha Brockenbrough, and filled with photos, maps, and all sorts of extras from the show’s archives.

This monster book is chock-full of Bigfoot history, top sightings, a Bigfoot profile, how to start your own Bigfoot expedition, and tons more! Skeptics will be given all the information they need to decide for themselves if they believe, and enthusiasts will revel in this essential Bigfoot book.

The Dinosaur Tooth Fairy lives in the Museum, where she polishes her giant tooth collection and remembers the good old days. But when a little girl with a loose tooth walks through with her class, the D.T.F. knows she wants it, wants it, WANTS it. The thing is, the world has changed quite a lot since the D.T.F. was out and about - there are doorknobs, slobbering dogs, and school buses to worry about now. Not to mention a mysterious Tooth Fairy rival who might just sweep in and ruin everything. Here is a story about loose teeth, heart's desires and-in the end-friendship, that is both laugh-out-loud funny and unexpectedly touching. This is the T-Rex of tooth fairy books. (Or maybe the most magical tooth fairy of dinosaur books?) Read it and teethe.

Recently given a star by Publishers Weekly and dubbed “provocative” by Kirkus, The Originals is the story of 17-year-olds Lizzie, Ella, and Betsey Best, who grew up as identical triplets... until they discovered a shocking family secret. They're actually closer than sisters, they're clones. Hiding from those who would expose them, the Best family appears to consist of a single mother with one daughter named Elizabeth. Lizzie, Ella, and Betsey take turns going to school, attending social engagements, and a group mindset has always been a de facto part of life... The message of Cat’s book is that everyone is unique, and she feels the same way about book launches. Attendees will be treated to clone-worthy food and beverages like DNA cupcakes and test tube punch, then a (humorous) dramatic reading featuring Cat and her You Are Next tour mates, Sean Beaudoin (The Infects), Martha Brockenbrough (Devine Intervention), and Kevin Emerson (The Lost Code), during which time it is possible that boys will read—and dress—as girls. There will be a photo-cloning station for participants and their look-alikes. Finally, Cat or her dopplegangers will be happy to sign copies of The Originals and answer questions about her career, her books, and the crazy weird science she likes to make up for fun.
