Author A.J. Symon will be here Wednesday August 26th at 5:30 to dedicate his new novel Golden Boy to the library. Please come out and show support for this amazing new book!
Golden Boy has already received great critical acclaim including a coveted starred review from School Library Journal who said "Like a golden retriever, this fun, fast-moving football story featuring an outstanding female lead will appeal to a wide range of readers,” and Booklist says “Georgia author Symon’s debut novel is steeped in Southern tradition and a deep love for family, football, and four-legged friends… Readers will find lots to love in this ode to the eternal bond between pets and their people.”
