Angie Thomas in Conversation With Rosanne Parry
April 14, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
FreeSuperstar author Angie Thomas makes her middle grade debut with the launch of an inventive, hilarious, and suspenseful new contemporary fantasy trilogy inspired by African American history and folklore. It’s not easy being a Remarkable in the Unremarkable world. Some things are cool — like getting a pet hellhound for your twelfth birthday. Others, not so much — like not being trusted to learn magic because you might use it to take revenge on an annoying neighbor. All Nic Blake wants is to be a powerful Manifestor like her dad. But before she has a chance to convince him to teach her, a series of shocking revelations and terrifying events launch Nic and two friends on a hunt for a powerful magic tool she’s never heard of to save her father from imprisonment for a crime she can’t believe he committed. From the award-winning, bestselling author of The Hate U Give comes Nic Blake and the Remarkables: The Manifestor Prophecy (Balzer & Bray/Harperteen), a wildly inventive new fantasy series, featuring a fierce, irrepressible character who will win your heart. Thomas will be joined in conversation by Rosanne Parry, author of A Wolf Called Wander.
