Snowfall Warning in Effect for 2nd Avenue Bookstore


Join us for an evening of mystery, intrigue and surprise treats on Friday, May 11th as we celebrate the release of our good friend John Lekich’s new novel for young adults published by Orca Books in Victoria. Already garnering terrific reviews, The Prisoner of Snowflake Falls should be on everyone’s reading list this spring – read it before the snow melts on Grouse.

Meet John at his book launch and  he'll personalize your copy.
  School Library Journal - May 1, 2012
"There are plenty of amusing parts and the language...is playful and Runyon-esque...This is a charming, funny coming-of-age story with terrific writing, characters to root for, and a completely satisfying ending to a silly caper."

CM Magazine - April 6, 2012
"It is almost impossible not to like Henry Hollaway...Lekich has provided Henry with an engaging story and a powerful voice. He has created a novel that has both a retro feel and contemporary issues...Lekich encourages us to think we can predict what will happen and then always surprises us. Recommended."
