NerdCrush

Happily Ever Afters meets You've Got Mail  in this geeky, Black Girl Magic filled debut romance about cosplay and finding the courage to be yourself. 

Ramona Lambert is a typical shy, artistic sixteen-year-old. She has a best friend whom she’s known since they were in diapers; parents who love her; a love for cosplay; and a crush on the cute boy in her class.

The only problem? Her best friend moved away; her parents don't quite understand her love of cosplay; and she is pretty sure her crush has no idea she exists.

Join members of local nonprofit New Jersey Search and Rescue (NJSAR) to learn what preparations you can take to avoid having to call Search and Rescue teams to get you home! This presentation is ideal for parents, caregivers, families, and children of all ages.
