Last week, Book Expo America (BEA) and Book Con took over McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois. BEA is the largest publishing event in North America, whereas Book Con is a newer, more pop culture-focused convention designed for fans.
Scholastic had a big booth -- including the ever-popular Harry Potter Muggle Wall -- and loads of authors at the back-to-back events! For behind-the-scenes photos and activities, check out the collection of tweets and photos below!
