SUMMARY:Literati Presents | Katherine Applegate: Wombat Waiting
DESCRIPTION:\nNewbery Award-winning author Katherine Applegate comes to AAD
 L to talk about her new middle-grade novel-in-verse\,&nbsp\;Wombat Waiting
 .&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nAbout the book:\n\n\n\nWombat isn’t actually a wombat—
 but when the homeless dog is discovered\, singed and ash-covered after a t
 errible fire destroys a community\, someone tags her with the nickname and
  it sticks.\n\n\n\nWombat is a “destiny dog.” Something inside of her 
 (she nicknames it “Voice’) keeps telling her there’s a special someo
 ne out there who is meant to be her person.Surrounded by a devastated town
 \, Wombat takes up residence on bench near the makeshift community center\
 , an old brick warehouse that\, for the most part\, survived the flames. A
  small part of the community center evacuation site has been repurposed fo
 r the local wildlife rehab sanctuary that burned down.&nbsp\;All of the an
 imals were spared\, and the temporary quarters include an elderly fruit ba
 t and a young Northern saw-whet owl.\n\n\n\nNo matter what\, Wombat refuse
 s to move from her perch\, despite the efforts of many humans. Clearly the
  dog is waiting for someone. But for whom? And what are the odds they surv
 ived?\n\n\n\nThis event is in partnership with Literati Bookstore and incl
 udes a signing with books for sale.\n\n\n\nHeld in Lower Level Program Roo
 m\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
