On the heels of the hit movie Solo, Star Wars fans will meet bestselling author Tom Angleberger at Greetings & Readings on Thursday, June 7, from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

In a new book called The Mighty Chewbacca in the Forest of Fear, Chewbacca the Wookiee finds out that a job he thought was just ferrying tooka cats is actually much more.

When he, a young bounty hunter/librarian, and a droll cargo droid - who, unbeknownst to the others is rebel spy droid K-2SO - land in the middle of a blue forest that emits a fear-causing mist, Chewie realizes the task at hand may be too dangerous for his liking.

In a story for grade levels four to seven, Chewbacca and his companions will have to fight off snarlers, sniffers, and their own fears as they try to recover a sacred book - and rescue Han Solo in the process!

Perfect for reading before or after seeing Solo: A Star Wars Story in theaters!

Tom Angleberger, author of the New York Times bestselling Origami Yoda series and the Rocket and Groot series, had been a Star Wars fan since 1977. Growing up before the dawn of the VCR, Tom listened to Star Wars again and again on cassette tape. His first action figure was C-3PO and his most recent (very recent) was a sandtrooper.

Tom lives in Virginia with his wife, author and illustrator Cece Bell.

Entry to the event is free. Books are $13.99 apiece. To be signed, books must be purchased at Greetings & Readings. A receipt is required.
