Aidan Dyer, a fourth-grade student at Brookdale Avenue School, will be signing The Adventures of Dustin Dust and Larry Lint, the book he wrote, at Watchung Booksellers on Saturday, February 9 at 1 p.m.
Dyer is dyslexic but he has a wide-ranging imagination–born perhaps from his wide-ranging travels in Africa. He wrote his book and illustrated it in the summer before third grade with his tutor, but it took all of the last school year to get it published. He had his first book signing at Time Warp Comics in December, much to the delight of his teachers from Brookdale Elementary School. Dyer has also done a book tour to Forest Avenue school, where he fielded questions about being an author with dyslexia.
Watchung Booksellers is located in Montclair at 54 Fairfield Street, which is located just off Watchung Avenue between Park Street and Valley Road. There is parking on the street and in a municipal lot behind the store.
