Step into worlds never before fathomed with three YA fantasy writers who use magic realism and new realms to reveal valuable insights about navigating teenage years—and society—with strength and fairness. Jes Battis is a queer autistic writer, teacher, and professor who reimagines Arthurian legends in the upbeat queer fantasy, The Winter Knight. Clara Kumagai is an award-winning author from Canada, Japan, and Ireland and joins us with her debut magical realism novel Catfish Rolling. Sarah Suk is a celebrated YA novelist whose latest, The Space between Here & Now, follows a youth with a mysterious condition that transports her to the past when she encounters scents linked to specific memories. Students will rethink the bounds of possibility. Grades 8–12.

Moderated by Holman Wang.
