Prolific and bestselling author Jodi Picoult and her daughter Samantha Van Leer will visit Mission Viejo June 26 for the launch of their co-written tween/YA book “Between the Lines.”
The two will appear in the popular Writers Present program at 7 p.m. in the Sycamore Room at the Norman P. Murray Community and Senior Center, 24932 Veterans Way.
Jodi Picoult is the bestselling author of 19 novels, four of which have been made into TV movies and one, “My Sister’s Keeper” is a major motion picture. Samantha Van Leer, a high school junior, conceived of the idea for “Between the Lines.” The clever young adult romance is about the magical relationship between a loner and her fictional “Prince Charming.” Readers will be swept up by the romantic premise.
Tickets for this special event are $22 (includes a guest), and folks will receive a hard-cover copy of “Between the Lines.” The authors will also sign their new book. Tickets can be purchased from A Whale of a Tale Bookshoppe in Irvine or in person at the Mission Viejo Library, 100 Civic Center.
