WEDNESDAY, June 13TH at 7PM: HELLO, UNIVERSE Concludes

Caledonia concludes Newbery Medalist Erin Entrada Kelly’s funny and poignant story about fate, destiny, and unexpected friendships.

Told from four intertwining points of view—two boys and two girls—the novel celebrates bravery, being different, and finding your inner bayani (hero).

When we left Virgilio, he was trapped in a well with only his imagination and Gulliver the guinea pig to keep him company.  But is he truly alone?  As characters his Lola has instilled in his consciousness from Philippine folklore visit him, and the friends he doesn't fully realize he has search for him, Virgilio is poised on the brink of the universe.

WEDNESDAY, May 16th at 7PM: HELLO UNIVERSE, Begins

Newbery Medalist Erin Entrada Kelly’s Hello, Universe is a funny and poignant neighborhood story

about unexpected friendships.

In one day, four lives weave together in unexpected ways. Virgil Salinas is shy and kindhearted and feels out of place in his crazy-about-sports family. Valencia Somerset, who is deaf, is smart, brave, and secretly lonely, and she loves everything about nature. Kaori Tanaka is a self-proclaimed psychic, whose little sister, Gen, is always following her around. And Chet Bullens wishes the weird kids would just stop being so different so he can concentrate on basketball.

They aren’t friends, at least not until Chet pulls a prank that traps Virgil and his pet guinea pig at the bottom of a well. This disaster leads Kaori, Gen, and Valencia on an epic quest to find missing Virgil. Through luck, smarts, bravery, and a little help from the universe, a rescue is performed, a bully is put in his place, and friendship blooms.
