Description:
The Los Angeles Public Library is proud to present local author/illustrator Kim Dwinell as she discusses her graphic novel (and now an AppleTV+ series) Surfside Girls. Things are getting weird in Surfside. Lately, Samantha’s best friend Jade explodes into fits of giggles whenever she sees a boy, and it’s throwing a wrench into the kick-back summer of surfing and hanging out that Sam had planned. But after swimming through a secret underwater cave, Sam starts to… see things. Like ghosts. And pirates. And maybe something even scarier! Can she and Jade get to the bottom of this mystery in time to save their town?
While Kim Dwinell has a fondness for stories that rivals her love for the beach, she has had a career as both a beach lifeguard and an animator, having worked on notable films such as The Swan Princess, Cats Don't Dance, Hercules, Mulan, and Tarzan. Kim also shares her knowledge by teaching animation at CSU Long Beach. When she isn't in the classroom or at her desk, you might find her participating in a 10K run, sailing on the ocean in her boat, or riding the waves on her surfboard.
Those attending the program will have an opportunity to win a free book.
