June 17, 2024 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Zoom Long Island author Sarah Beth Durst will share her newest middle-grade novel, SPY RING (HarperCollins / Clarion Books). SPY RING is about two modern-day kids who discover the truth about real-life American Revolutionary War-era spy Anna Smith Strong (America's first female spy!) through a treasure-hunt adventure in their hometown of Setauket, New York. It weaves historical fact throughout a contemporary fictional adventure, and it encourages young readers to celebrate the history that surrounds them, while highlighting lesser-known heroes who lived right here on Long Island. In a starred review, Kirkus called SPY RING: "Compelling and fascinating; brings history to life." Bio: Sarah Beth Durst is the award-winning author of over twenty-five books for kids, teens, and adults, including Spark, The Lake House, and The Spellshop. She won an American Library Association Alex Award and a Mythopoeic Fantasy Award and has been a finalist for SFWA's Andre Norton Nebula Award three times. She is a graduate of Princeton University and lives in Stony Brook, New York, with her husband, her children, and her ill-mannered cat.
