Rie Neal (@rienealwriter) will be visiting AHB to celebrate her new book, SPACE FOR SAFFRON!

Rie Neal is the author of early chapter book series, Astrid the Astronaut, as well as a Nationally Certified Audiologist with the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. She is also the author of the popular chapter book series, The Major Eights (Little Bee, 2018), under her pen name Melody Reed.

In her new book, a budding scientist must figure out how to help save her family’s cafe and impress at her new school’s science fair in this charming young middle grade read, perfect for fans of the Meena Zee and Front Desk series.

Rie will be joined in-conversation by Sara Ryan (@instaryansara), award-winning local author of queer kidlit.

Audience Q&A and book signing to follow!
