Famous Anonymous Book Event with Author Morgan Baden In Conversation with Barry Lyga

This event is free and open to the public.

Four middle schoolers find unexpected fame when a video they post goes mega-viral. Suddenly they are famous - and anonymous because they posted the video in costume. The first in a series about neighborhood friends who find sudden fame, Famous Anonymous explores friendship, loyalty and imagination all while considering the big questions that come up in social media like how do you protect your true self online and is it ever possible to be truly anonymous?
