“Adventures of Bob” climbing the kid-author bestseller list

Bestselling book by a 9-year-old

Jack must have a really great publicist, or maybe it’s all excellent word of mouth – his book THE ADVENTURES OF BOB is just flying off the shelves….You can buy your own copy at the store or our website or come check it out at the LA TIMES FESTIVAL OF BOOKS next month at the Scribble Press booth.

Who is this mysterious author Jack?  And why is THE ADVENTURES OF BOB finding an underground audience so quickly?  Since Jack never actually came into the store, we don’t know – but Jack, we are curious!    — Your fans at Scribble Press.

PS you can get your own copy here http://www.scribblepress.com/e-store/prod_details.asp?pcid=1&cid=111642543790&pid=2215163630121

PPS, true to our word, we are cutting a check to Bookends, our local nonprofit partner that helps put books in the hands of kids who need them.  check out www.bookends.org  to find out more about them.  Way to go, Jack and we look forward to publishing more of your work….
