Spooky Saturday Storytime: Emily Ettlinger, Skeleanor the Decomposer

Details

East City Bookshop welcomes Emily Ettlinger for a spooky Saturday reading of her graphic novel for young readers, Skeleanor the Decomposer, just in time for Halloween! Recommended for ages 5 and up.

ABOUT SKELEANOR THE DECOMPOSER

An instantly charming and vivid chapter-book graphic novel, starring a music-obsessed skeleton, Skeleanor, and her quest to find her sound (and her confidence) by debut creator Emily Ettlinger.

Skeleanor loves music more than life itself. There’s just one problem: She has a bit more rattle than rhythm at the moment. No matter what type of instrument she plays—from the fiddle to the xylobone—she always seems to scare the people of Little Casketon away. But with the Little Casketon Summershine festival coming up, and the town band missing a player, maybe Skeleanor (along with the help of her best friend, Batima) could show people her skills and finally take center stage.

Hilarious and heartfelt, Skeleanor the Decomposer by debut author and illustrator Emily Ettlinger is a story about chasing your passions no matter what other people say. Sometimes, all you need is a dream, your friends, and a little music.

Emily Ettlinger is an artist and author from Silver Spring, Maryland. When she’s not drawing, you can find her fighting her cats or obsessing over one of her many projects (currently, honeycomb smocking and ceramic jewelry). She graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a degree in illustration. Skeleanor the Decomposer is her first graphic novel. Visit her online at emiett.com.
