Earlier this month, author April Henry wrapped up a national tour for the launch of her 10th YA novel, The Lonely Dead (Holt/Ottaviano, Jan.). Henry made stops in Edmond, Okla., Houston, Nashville, Portland, Ore., San Jose, and St. Louis. Along the way, she participated in school visits and public events with guest authors including Rachel Vincent and Rea Fray. We’ve gathered a selection of highlights from the tour, which included custom-made cakes and fan art.
