Bookstores generally reek of contemplation, learning and, for some of us, lust, but it’s a rare shop that evokes real wonder. This high-ceilinged purveyor of literature and music for infants through adolescents is wondrous.

Thursday November 12
David Levithan
Put your mopey teen hipster face on and come hear David Levithan, the author of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, discuss his new book, Love is the Higher Law. Instead of indie music, the teens in this book bond over shared reactions to Sept. 11. Oh, high school. KATE WILLIAMS. A Children’s Place Bookstore, 4807 NE Fremont St., 284-8294. 4 pm Thursday Nov. 12. Free.
Sunday November 15
David Michael Slater Book Release Party
Come talk absurdist teen lit this Sunday with David Michael Slater, author of Book of Knowledge and Book of Nonsense. He, along with special guests Dayle Bayse (author of Heck I and II) and Bart King (author of Big Book for Boys), will read from Slater's new work and defend their boundary-pushing approaches to the traditionally cheesy genre. KATE WILLIAMS. A Children’s Place Bookstore, 4807 NE Fremont St., 284-8294. 3 pm Sunday, Nov. 15. Free. All ages.
