Friday Barnes 14, Nothing to Lose
ABOUT THE SHOW
In this whirlwind of storytelling, best selling author R.A. Spratt will launch the latest instalment in her beloved series, Friday Barnes 14, Nothing to Lose.
R.A. will do a live reading from the book, tells stories about where she gets her ideas, answer all your burning questions about the nitty gritty of the plot as well and hint at what’s coming next in the many unrequited love triangles of the series. She will even sing a song and perform some sort of visually dramatic stunt so you’ve got something spectacular to show your friends on Instagram and make them die with jealousy.
Books will be on sale and R.A. will be available to sign them after the show.
