SLCL Presents Middle Grade Author Alex Evanovich

St. Louis County Library Foundation’s Reading Garden Series for Young Audiences and The Novel Neighbor are pleased to host middle grade author Alex Evanovich for a discussion and signing of “Keeper Chance and the Conundrum of Chaos.”

The event will take place on Saturday, October 19 at 2:00 p.m. at the Clark Family Branch, 1640 S. Lindbergh Blvd, St. Louis MO 63131.

Alex Evanovich presents an adventure-filled story of an average boy offered a life of villainy that’s about good vs. evil, mischief vs. mayhem, and making your mark on the world.

If you’ve ever lost a sock in the dryer, it might have been the work of the Evil Villains International League, EVIL. And if your feet smell so bad, they keep you from making friends, good news! You might be invited to join.

After growing up in the care of his nagging grandmother and coasting through school with a mediocre GPA, Keeper Chance gets invited to try out for a spot in his local chapter of EVIL. Keeper’s not sure his unremarkable life makes him villain material, but things get more remarkable, and fast, when Keeper faces the chapter’s first test—and disasters begin to snowball.

As members of EVIL go missing and Keeper races against the clock to save his new friends, he still can’t shake the question of why he was chosen for the league when he’s nothing special. Can he uncover his true nature in time to ensure the survival of villainy—or does his true destiny follow a different path?
