MEET THE AUTHOR!

NOVELIST BIANCA LAKOSELJAC COMES TO RUNNYMEDE BRANCH

Meet the author of the 2012 hit novel The Summer of the Dancing Bear.  This novel is a mesmerizing melange of love story and mystery, as young protagonist Kata explores the unfamiliar world of the gypsy tribe that has befriended her and embarks on a quest to discover the fate of a neighbour’s missing child. Memory and magic play their roles until the shocking denouement that reveals Kata’s own family secrets and forever alters her perceptions of life as she once knew it. Engaging and original, the novel fuses history, myth, and tradition in a whimsical literary voice that reminds us that the complex and innocenthumanity in us is too often haunted by human tragedy.
