On Nov. 24, author Scott Westerfeld was in Vancouver to promote Behemoth, the second volume in his YA steampunk trilogy, Leviathan, which is illustrated by Canada’s Keith Thompson. (Photos courtesy of Simon & Schuster)

Westerfeld signing copies of his other big YA series, Uglies, at Kidsbooks.

In the evening, Westerfeld gave a reading for a number of his young fans at West Point Grey United Church.

A number of Westerfeld’s fans got into the steampunk spirit. (Cuz nothing says “punk” more than bringing your mom to a reading in a church…)
