Meeting author Margaret Finnegan

 On January 31st the MCBA readers had the opportunity to meet Margaret Finnegan, author of We Could Be Heroes. 

We learned her inspiration for the story, about her upcoming book, and how Booler got his name! She was terrific and patiently answered all of our questions!

We have been so fortunate to connect with a few of the authors whose books we have enjoyed this MCBA season.
