Otto Bookstore

Hi this is Betsy from Otto’s.  “Life can be tricky,” she told the girls and boys.  “If I can be so presumptuous as to offer you one piece of advice:  take a good hard look at who you are and what you have –and then use it.”  That’s the message Flannery O’Connor gives to a school assembly in the novel, A Good Hard Look written by Ann Napolitano.  Fictionalizing O’Connor within the town of Milledgville, Georgia in the 1960’s and creating a strong cast of characters with their own tricky set of circumstances, the author uses Flannery O’Connor as a catalyst to bring her fellow townspeople not to a happy ending, but “on their way to a happy ending.”  Following these honest, broken, hopeful souls, who strive for something true (and just beyond their reach) will leave you taking a good, hard look at who you are and what you have and set you on your way…to a happy ending.  A Good Hard Look.  You’ll find it at Otto’s, a booklover’s paradise in the heart of downtown Williamsport.
