Join us at The Haunted Book Shop on June 30th at 5:30PM for a launch party honoring Lisa Johnston Hancock and her debut children’s book, Santiago and Great Bear. In her stirring narrative, Hancock introduces us to Santiago, a young boy adjusting to his new life in the countryside. Through lyrical prose and engaging illustrations, readers experience the magical and unlikely friendship between Santiago and a celestial visitor, the Great Bear, cast from the constellation Ursa Major.

At the party, adults and children alike will enjoy a meet-and-greet with the author, be entertained as the author reads the book to her young fans, and have their copy signed by the author. Join us as we raise a toast to Lisa Johnston Hancock and celebrate the release of this delightful and heartfelt book.
