We have a great group of authors scheduled to speak and read; best of all, they will have (limited) copies of their books to give away and sign.
The line-up is:
- Chris Crutcher, author of Athletic Shorts, Whale Talk, Chinese Handcuffs and many more. Chris will be our MC.
- Sarah S. Brannen, author of Uncle Bobby’s Wedding, number eight of the Top Ten Challenged Books of 2008.
- Cecily von Ziegesar, author of the Gossip Girl series and Jen’s personal hero, number seven on the Top Ten list.
- Stephen Chbosky, author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower, number six on the Top Ten list.
- Lauren Myracle, author of TTYL, TTFN, and L8R G8R, number three on the Top Ten list.
- Justin Richardson and Peter Parnell, authors of And Tango Makes Three, number one on the Top Ten list for three years.
After these authors read, we’ll be holding an open mic for any audience member to read from their favorite challenged book.
Additional goody from ALA
To kick off Banned Books Week 2009, ALA published a new Banned Books Week PSA featuring the puppets from “Crash Pad.”
