The World of Ink Network will be
touring author Maggie Lyons’s contemporary children’s chapter book, Vin and the Dorky Duet throughout August
and September 2012.
Magnetic compost heaps, man-eating bubble baths and other
disasters erupt when an inventive seventh-grader meets a challenge to win a
David Beckham autographed soccer jersey if he can befriend an unsociable nerd and
introduce his sister to the nerd’s hunky brother.
The story is about the disasters
that pile up when a seventh-grader’s brilliant plan to meet his sister’s
challenge takes more than one wrong turn. Life tosses challenges at all of us.
It would be incredibly boring if it didn’t. What matters is what we learn from
them.

About the Book:
A twelve-year-old boy named Vin, goes on a mission—reluctantly. He
doesn’t share the optimism of the knights of old who embarked on impossible
missions without a doubt they’d succeed. When magnetic compost
heaps, man-eating bubble baths and other disasters erupt, Vin comes close to
packing in the whole ridiculous business. He calls it Operation BS, his code
name for a mission to introduce his sister to a boy she has a crush on. He
doesn’t want to play matchmaker, but Meg’s promise to reward him with a David
Beckham autographed soccer jersey is a decisive incentive.
