Young adult book signing and guide dog day at Titcomb's Bookshop

Guide dog in training for children will be at the book signing

Author Art Corriveau will sign copies of his new novel for young adults How I, Nicky Flynn, Finally Got A Life (and A Dog) at Titcomb’s Bookshop on Wednesday, July 28, 2010 from 4pm to 5pm. There will be a guide dog in training for children to meet during the book signing. No registration is required for this event.

How I, Nicky Flynn, Finally Got A Life (and A Dog) is the story of a boy whose life just got a whole lot harder. Not only have Nicky’s parents just gone through a messy divorce—forcing him to start a new life, in a new city, in a new school—but now his mom has totally gone behind his back and brought home Reggie, an eighty-pound German shepherd, from the animal shelter. Turns out, Reggie is far from an ordinary pound mutt: he’s a former seeing-eye dog. Trouble is, nobody’s ever told Reggie he’s retired.

Nicky isn’t so sure about being dragged around the neighborhood as if he were Reggie’s new blind master. (Oh great, yet another situation he has no control over!) But then things start to get complicated, and Nicky soon discovers that Reggie may be the only one he can rely on, especially when Nicky tries to reconnect with his dad. Nicky puts everything on the line—including the life of his new best friend.
