This is the face of one happy kid. For an early birthday treat, Mr. E and I took a road trip to the Red Balloon Book Store in St. Paul to see Rick Riordan and pick up a copy of the final Percy Jackson, The Last Olympian. We got there early, but the room (it was in a church) was already packed. Packed with kids reading away. It warmed the cockles of my librarian heart.

So, what author would you drive 1 ½ hours and wait in a sweltering church to see on a school night?
