About this author

edit data

Street magic performer. Award-winning ice sculptor. Hog-calling champion. Boogeyman assassin. These are all things Tara Lazar has never been. Instead, she prefers baking with her daughters, creating jewelry, and writing stories for children. THE MONSTORE is her first book, inspired by her pesky little brother (who is no longer so pesky).

Want a Signed, Personalized Copy of THE MONSTORE?

Then slip on your ruby red slippers, click your heels together three times and repeat…

I’ve teamed up with my local indie in Bernardsville, NJ.

I’ll be signing THE MONSTORE at The Bookworm on Thursday, June 20 from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m.

But, if you can’t make it, you can still get a signed copy made out to your favorite kiddo. (Or yourself, or Toto the dog, as the case may be.)

Just call The Bookworm...
