Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck Book Release Party!

Barnes & Noble Corte Madera will host a free Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hard Luck release party on Tuesday, November 5 at 4:00pm.

The party celebrates book 8 in the bestselling series, in which “Wimpy Kid” Greg Heffley finds himself going through a losing streak.  His best friend, Rowley Jefferson, has ditched him, and finding new friends in middle school is proving to be a tough task. Greg decides to turn his decisions over to chance, leaving readers to discover whether or not a roll of the dice will turn things around. 

Party-goers will try their luck at “Wimpy Bingo,” compete for prizes in a trivia contest, pose as the Wimpy Kid himself in a photo op station, enjoy refreshments, and take home Wimpy Kid activity packets. The first 25 kids at the party will receive collectible Wimpy Kid bracelets and posters.

The fun will continue at the NOOK® counter as digital experts demonstrate Wimpy Kid NOOK Books®, audiobooks and videos on the critically acclaimed NOOK® HD+, packed with pixels to deliver text, graphics and video with stunning HD clarity.  Stores with larger NOOK Boutiques™ will utilize their NOOK counter as a “digital divination station,” entertaining attendees with readings from the popular “Fortune Cookie” and “Magic 8-Ball" apps.
