SUMMARY:Sophie Escabasse Launches Taxi Ghost: 5 à 7
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 11\, 2024\, 5:00-7:00 pm\n\n\n\nJoin Librairie D+Q\, Random House Graphic\, and Sophie Escabasse to launch TAXI GHOST\, the new graphic novel from the author of The Witches of Brooklyn. Stop by for drawing activities\, snacks\, and to have your books signed by the author! \n\n\n\nWHEN: Wednesday September 11th\, 5 à 7 pmWHERE: Espace Drawn & Quarterly\, 176 Bernard O \n\n\n\nPreorder the book here: https://mtlshop.drawnandquarterly.com/item/wCIDqQu6pg9phUtuqaDe7w \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this hilarious and heartwarming graphic novel\, a young girl’s first period brings an unexpected gift: the ability to see ghosts! As she meets these spectral visitors\, she uncovers her family’s secret lineage of mediums\, while learning about the power of compassion and community. \n\n\n\nAdèle just wants to spend her winter break at the library\, cozied up with her favorite books\, and completely forgetting abut her friends who are all traveling to warmer climates. Unfortunately\, life has other plans…not only does Adèle get her first period…but she learns she comes from a long line of mediums! \n\n\n\nAnd if seeing ghosts wasn’t enough of a surprise\, Adèle learns that not only can she interact with them\, but apparently\, they’ve been using her sister’s car to get around the city for years! When the ghosts won’t leave her alone Adèle starts to get to know about them and their problems. Maybe helping them out will be just what she needs for an exciting winter break! \n\n\n\nFrom Sophie Escabasse\, the author of the beloved Witches of Brooklyn\, comes a brilliant graphic novel that explores growing up and the importance of standing up for what you believe in. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSophie Escabasse lives in Montreal with her husband and three children and their black cat\, Terrence. Previously from Brooklyn\, Sophie travels constantly and is thrilled to talk about her love of stories with school and bookstores. She has illustrated many books for middle-grade readers\, including her bestselling graphic novel series Witches of Brooklyn. She has been a graphic novel lover for as long as she can remember\, and she enjoys fun and expressive characters. Find her on instagra at @essoffi \n\n\n\nEspace Drawn & Quarterly Accessibility information:\n\n\n\n\nOur event space uses StopGap.ca ramps in an effort to encourage accessibility. Both the step at the entrance\, followed by a half step and a door have StopGap ramps. The door opens inward and is not automated. Once inside\, there are no additional steps.\n\n\n\nThere is one non-gendered bathroom.\n\n\n\nIt is not a sober space\, our events sometimes offer alcohol.\n\n\n\n Please email events@drawnandquarterly.com if you have any accessibility needs we can accommodate (for example\, saving you a seat if you have mobility needs) for you to be able to enjoy our events\, worry-free\, and feel free to contact us for any concerns you may have \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLibrairie Drawn & Quarterly would like to acknowledge that our events and bookstores are located on the unceded territory of the Kanien’kehá:ka. Many of us refer to Montreal as our home\, but it is named Tiohtiá:ke. It has always been a gathering place for many First Nations and continues to be home to a diverse population of Indigenous peoples. We are grateful that creating and sharing stories has been a part of this land for thousands of years.
