At first the moderator says they aren't going to have any spoilers, but the audience is all kids so they go right ahead and dive into the plot details, and Meloy and Ellis go right along with them.

ALT2 is the main hook, but adding mention of Carson Ellis and uses the author photo. Note that while Ellis is not a band member, she does The Decemberists' set designs, as well as album art and t-shirts, so if you read the hook as implying she is "of the Decemberists", that is not inaccurate.

I like ALT 2, and Editor Bratland must be given credit for going the extra mile and getting an image of the author and illustrator at a book signing. Great work!
