Book Launch (and Boba) with Nicole Chen
We're excited to welcome local author Nicole Chen back to the store, this time to celebrate her heartfelt middle-grade debut, It’s Boba Time for Pearl Li! Nicole will read an excerpt and sign copies of her book, which can be purchased at the event. And yes, there will be boba!
Pearl Li is ready to spend the summer before seventh grade hanging out with her two best friends, crocheting the cutest amigurumi dolls, and frequenting her favorite tea shop, Boba Time. Its quirky owner, Auntie Cha, is the only adult Pearl can confide in about her art—if only her tech-obsessed family would understand her love of crafts!
After Pearl learns of Boba Time’s financial troubles, she decides to sell her amigurumi to raise money for the shop. But as she navigates the ups and downs of running a business, Pearl realizes that monetizing her passion is more complicated than she could’ve ever imagined. Will she be able to stop Boba Time from closing and prove to her parents that her passion for crochet is worthy and serious?
Nicole Chen is a Taiwanese American author based in Menlo Park, CA. It's Boba Time for Pearl Li! is her first novel, and she’s also the author of the picture book How We Say I Love You.
