Ursula K. Le Guin Tribute Event

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland, OR, United States

Ursula K. Le Guin’s Earthsea novels are some of the most acclaimed and awarded works in literature – they have received prestigious accolades such as the National Book Award, a Newbery Honor, the Nebula Award, and many more honors, commemorating their enduring place in the hearts and minds of readers and the literary world alike.

Annie Bloom's welcomes this wonderful trio of authors to read together. Deborah Hopkinson's How I Became a Spy is a story of espionage, survival, and friendship during World War II.

But when a young woman goes missing, leaving behind a coded notebook, Bertie is determined to solve the mystery. With the help of Eleanor and his friend David, a Jewish refugee--and, of course, his trusty pup, Little Roo--Bertie must…
