Launch Event “When the Rain Came”
New York Times bestselling author Matt Eichledinger is joining us for the launch of his thrilling new YA novel: When the Rain Came.
Life in the foster system has taught Seventeen-year-old Aurora how to stay quiet, stay smart, and stay ready. But nothing could prepare her for this: a never-ending storm that swallows cities, drowns forests, and turns the world into a flooded wasteland. Trapped in a collapsing house with her strict prepper foster parents, Aurora is forced to live by their rules just to stay alive. Until the day they disappear without a trace.
All Aurora has is a waterlogged scrap of paper and a name: “The Hill.” With looters closing in and the floodwaters rising higher each day, she must risk everything on a journey through the drowned remains of the world to find a place that may or may not exist.
It’s thrilling, atmospheric, and chock-full of mystery. Come celebrate its release with us!
