Two upcoming author visits will explore two very different kinds of wild places this week at Eagle Harbor Book Company in downtown Winslow.

First, at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 26, Linda Vigen Phillips will visit the bookstore and talk about her book “Crazy,”  a young adult novel written in verse about a teen named Laura who must navigate life in the ‘60s with a bi-polar mother.

Eloquent and compelling, this powerful novel tackles complex themes in a way that will have readers rooting for Laura to find the courage to get the answers she needs.

Then, at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 27 at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art auditorium (550 Winslow Way E.), EHBC will host conservationist/photographer/author Ian McAllister to discuss his new book “Great Bear Wild: Dispatches From a Northern Rainforest.”

The Great Bear Rainforest is the fabled region that stretches up the Pacific Coast from the top of Vancouver Island to southern Alaska.

A longtime resident of the area, McAllister takes readers on a deeply personal journey from the headwaters of the Great Bear Rainforest’s unexplored river valleys, down to where the ocean meets the rainforest and finally to the hidden depths of the offshore world.

McAllister introduces readers to the First Nations people who have lived there for millennia and have become his close friends and allies, as well as to the scientists conducting groundbreaking research and racing against time to protect the rainforest from massive energy projects.

Both events are free and open to the public.

Seating at BIMA auditorium is limited, however. Reservations can be made in person at Eagle Harbor Book Company or online at www.eagleharborbooks.com/event/bima-ian-mcallister.
