After publishing her debut at age fifty, she spent decades defining the childhoods of the Rewind generation with beloved titles like The Two Princesses of Bamarre, Fairest, and the Disney Fairies series. From her farmhouse in the Hudson River Valley, Gail continues to champion the magic of storytelling through her recent work, The Unusuals, and her iconic writing guides for aspiring authors. She will be at booth 100.

Bruce Coville is the prolific mastermind behind childhood staples like My Teacher Is an Alien and the Unicorn Chronicles, having published over 100 books that blend whimsey with the wonderfully weird.

We are honored to welcome this legendary creator to the Rewind stage to celebrate the stories that turned us all into lifelong fans of the fantastical. He will be at booth 421.
