Attention all fans of The Family Fang (the book OR movie version)….do we have a treat for you! Author Kevin Wilson will be here with his new YA book, Perfect Little World. This is an excellent FAMILY EVENT so finish your homework early and come on in!
Wilson’s much anticipated new novel, Perfect Little World is the follow-up to his New York Times bestselling debut novel, The Family Fang. Wilson offers another offbeat look at the meaning of family, this time through the lens of a resilient young mother living life on her own terms—and a strange utopian experiment that could redefine what family means. Library Journal says Perfect Little World is a “moving novel about love, parenting, and the families we create for ourselves.” His fiction has appeared in Ploughshares, Tin House, One Story, and elsewhere. He teaches fiction at the University of the South and lives in Sewanee, Tennessee with his wife and two sons.
