The Hingham Library welcomes Hingham Author Monica Tesler for the launch of Fractured Futures, the fifth and final book in her Bounders series aimed at tweens and teens, ages 9-14. Monica will discuss her newest book, answer questions about the series, and sign books. There will also be games, refreshments, and fun book swag for all!

Fractured Futures reunites Jasper and his Bounder friends. They must find a way to make peace between Earth and the Youli aliens before the Youli destroy the human race in this finale of the Bounders series, which Shannon Messenger calls "richly detailed, highly imaginative" and Booklist describes as a "sci-fi space adventure sure to please middle-graders looking to get hooked on a new series."

Bounders is her debut series from Simon & Schuster/Aladdin.

Books, provided by Buttonwood Books, will be available for purchase at the event.
