Free Add to Schedule + Google Calendar+ Add to iCalendar Details Date: Sunday, November 20, 2016 Time: 9:00 am Cost: Free Event Category: Ages 14+ Authors Lauren Gibaldi Lauren Gibaldi is a public librarian who's been, among other things, a magazine editor, high school English teacher, bookseller, and circus aerialist. She is the author of the contemporary YA novel The Night We Said Yes and the novella, Matt’s Story. In The Night We Said Yes (HarperTeen), when Maude decides to search for information about her birth mother, she finds out more than she expected as she starts to realize that her mother’s past doesn’t have to define her own future. Rachel Cohn Rachel Cohn is the author of critically acclaimed YA novels Very LeFreak, You Know Where to Find Me, Cupcake, Shrimp, Gingerbread, and Beta. David Levithan is a children’s book editor in New York City, and the New York Times bestselling author of several books for young adults, including Another Day, Every Day, Boy Meets Boy, and Will Grayson, Will Grayson (with John Green). Cohn and Levithan’s collaborations include Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist, Naomi and Ely’s No Kiss List, and Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares. Their latest is The Twelve Days of Dash & Lily (Knopf Books for Young Readers). Dash and Lily have had a tough year since readers first watched the couple fall in love. Lily’s beloved grandfather suffered a heart attack, and his difficult road to recovery has taken a major toll on her typically sunny disposition. With only twelve days left until Christmas—Lily’s favorite time of the year—Dash, Lily’s brother Langston, and their closest friends take Manhattan by storm to help Lily recapture the holiday magic of New York City in December. Nicola Yoon Nicola Yoon is the New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything. She grew up in Jamaica and Brooklyn and now lives in Los Angeles. Her latest young adult novel is The Sun is Also a Star (Delacorte Press). Natasha believes in science and facts. Not fate. Not destiny. Or dreams that will never come true. She’s definitely not the kind of girl who meets a cute boy on a crowded New York City street and falls in love with him. Not when her family is twelve hours away from being deported to Jamaica. Daniel has always been the good son, the good student, living up to his parents’ high expectations. Never the poet. Or the dreamer. But something about Natasha makes Daniel think that fate has something much more extraordinary in store—for both of them.
