Join us in welcoming Amy Reed\, who will read from her Young Adult novel\, Beautiful\, and Jason Myers whose newest YA novel is The Mission. We are pleased to continue our Young Adult reading series\, as this reading follows events with Frank Portman and Sherman Alexie.
Reed's powerful\, raw novel has been called a modern day Go Ask Alice. Beautiful has garnered notice from the literary community\, including Ellen Hopkins\, author of Crank\, who says of Reed's work\, "\;Beautiful is stark\, disquieting and\, quite simply\, riveting. Amy Reed is an author to keep on your radar."\;
The Mission exemplifies the best of the Simon/ Pulse imprint. Gritty\, edgy\, real life fiction that young readers seek out. When Kaden's brother is killed in Iraq\, Kaden takes an unforgettable trip that forever changes his life.
