Children's author Fran Cannon Slayton will be signing copies of her middle-grade novel, When the Whistle Blows (Puffin, paperback, $6.99), at Fiction Addiction on Saturday, August 13th, from 10am-12pm.

Jimmy Cannon loves trains. And he wants to work on the railroad more than anything when he grows up. After all, his father is the foreman in Rowlesburg, and all the men in his family have worked on the rails. But times are changing in the 1940s, and Jimmy's father sees a different future for his son. Join Jimmy on the ride of a lifetime, through midnight Halloween romps, the championship football game, and a secret society in this coming-of-age story set during the last of the railroad days.
