Marcus Emerson recently set out on a national book tour to launch his new middle grade adventure Ben Braver and the Incredible Exploding Kid (Roaring Brook), sequel to last year’s The Super Life of Ben Braver. Over the course of the tour, Emerson presented to approximately 2,200 kids. The celebration kicked off on February 28 in McAllen, Tex., where Marcus spent two days visiting schools. On March 7, Emerson wrapped up with three school events in collaboration with Anderson’s Bookshop in Naperville, Ill. We’ve gathered a selection of highlights from the tour, which included readings, signings, drawing demos, and more.
