Come join us at the Danversport Yacht Club in March
to welcome Mark Peter Hughes, an American writer who
has been described as “vivid and colorful as the characters
he creates.” He chronicles his interests in writing and storytelling through social networking sites such as Facebook
and Twitter. Hughes’ own childhood memories prompted
him to write heartfelt novels for young adults because as a
result of his own experiences, he believes he can tap into
the thoughts that go through a teenager's mind, as well as
the concerns and hopes that fill their days. Hughes will
sometimes address his fans on video and occasionally he’ll
appear on video and in song to answer a fan’s letter in a
tune he sings and plays on his ukulele.
His novels for teens and ‘tweens include: Lemonade Mouth
Puckers Up, I Am the Wallpaper, A Crack In The Sky and
Lemonade Mouth, now a Disney Channel Original Movie
musical. The book Lemonade Mouth, originally written for
teens, has been slightly adapted by the author for middle
grade readers.
NOTE: Payment for book purchases must be made in cash
or with a personal check.
