Three beloved, award-winning middle grade authors share stories of characters who tackle very different challenges, all with bravery and heart. When her best friend is placed in the ICU after a serious accident, Albie must take charge of their project for the Young Entrepreneur Club contest in Stacey Matson’s Eleven Out of Ten. Erin Bow’s Witchward Bound is a magical tale of two rivals, a cat and a raven, who must learn to work together to save the witch they both care for. And in The Book of Jupiter, Robin Stevenson shares the gripping and insightful story of a girl who realizes she’s lived almost her entire life inside a cult. The authors will discuss courage, creativity, and their writing process. 

Moderated by Shannon Ozirny. 

Grades 4–7.
