Erik Pedersen writes about books, bestsellers, libraries and bookstores each week in The Book Pages.
Author Jeff Kinney will bring the latest installment in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series for a West Coast tour. Imagine a game show where kids and librarians are the big winners – and instead of lifetime supplies of Turtle Wax, they can score free books and support for local libraries.
“Kids are going to have a chance to win money for their school library or their community library. At each tour stop, we’re going to be spotlighting a beloved local librarian,” says Kinney, who asked 10 publishers to donate a range of diverse books – and they all agreed.
Kinney, whose books are said to have sold more than 275 million copies around the world, says that his books have occasionally been challenged, but he’s much more concerned that books by people of color and the LGBTQ community are being targeted. The author, who owns a bookstore with his wife in Plainville, Massachusetts, and hosts a diverse roster of author events, also has an international tour planned that will take him to Germany, the U.K. and India, where he’s also popular. His work has been translated into 69 languages.
