Young Adult Authors to Discuss Identity and Coming of Age
Come to the Cary Memorial Library to hear young adult authors talk about growing up in an uncertain world.
The Cary Memorial Library is inviting teenagers, parents and fans of young adult fiction for an after-hours event featuring authors of young adult fiction.
The event will be held at the library on Saturday, Nov. 23 at 6 p.m. Young Adults authors Karen Healey, A.S. King, and Malinda Lo talk about identity and coming of age in contemporary teen fiction.
"Growing up is tough, and no one knows that better than writers of Young Adult fiction," the event post states. "Their teenage characters solve mysteries, unravel conspiracies, and rebel against a world of unfair expectations. YA authors tell stories about overcoming obstacles, falling in love, and the fight against injustice. Their stories teach us how to survive in an uncertain world."
