Author Kevin Coolidge (who you can find right here on the PA Wilds Marketplace!) brings the characters in his The Totally Ninja Raccoons books into the real world! Now for the fourth time, Kevin invites families to search for the Raccoons throughout businesses in Wellsboro in the annual “Where Are The Totally Ninja Raccoons?” town-wide search. The trio of brothers who star in the children’s book series are playing hide-and-seek throughout Wellsboro, starting at 9 a.m. on Saturday, July 1. Throughout July, folks can find illustrations of the Raccoons in 30 local businesses!

Books take us on new adventures! Sometimes those adventures are mental journeys, which we can read from the comfort of an armchair while envisioning historical events or faraway destinations. Other times, those adventures are quite literal... guidebooks can tag along with you on your explorations, providing you with maps and expert tips. Whatever type of adventure you enjoy, we have books on the PA Wilds Marketplace that can take you there.

 PJ Piccirillo delves into his history with the written word, as well as how the PA Wilds region has inspired his works. PJ’s fiction and articles have appeared in journals, magazines, newspapers, and syndicates. He is a literary artist-in-residence for the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. An advocate of the region’s under-recognized writing, he has worked to build a name for its writers and a brand for its books by founding the Writers Conference of Northern Appalachia (WCoNA)™ (WCoNA.com) and the Northern Appalachia Review, for which he is the current editor-in-chief.
