Join the Clarke Historical Library tomorrow, Monday, April 13, for this year's Burgess Lecture: An evening with award-winning author Laurie Halse Anderson.

Anderson will talk about her latest book "Rebellion 1776":

Thirteen-year-old Elsbeth Culpepper, a kitchen maid to a judge, survives the Siege of Boston only to find herself in a dangerous situation as British troops leave the city, her Loyalist employer leaves with them, and her father goes missing, leaving her alone. While she works in the large household of Mr. Pike, a wealthy Patriot spy, Elsbeth searches the city for her father. Then smallpox reaches the family, and Elsbeth, who survived an earlier infection, must nurse them through the inoculation process.

The program begins at 7:00 pm on April 13, in the Central Michigan University Libraries Opperman Auditorium. A reception and book signing will follow in the Clarke Historical Library.
