Carroll’s Restaurant is hosting a book launch with Medford author and illustrator Susan A. Penta for her second work, “Suzy and the Witch.” The book tells a true story about 8-year-old Suzy and the valuable lesson she learns about judging people before you really know them. Books will be available for purchase ($18.95 plus tax) and signing.

Penta is a retired second-grade teacher who also wrote the children’s book “A Seat by the Window.”
