We are pleased to host this panel in conjunction with George Mason University's Fall for the Book Program.

How do young adult novelists serve young readers while tackling tough themes? Eliza Nader’s Escape from Eden follows two teens fleeing a fundamentalist compound. In Valerie O. Patterson’s Operation Oleander, a Florida teen’s humanitarian efforts in Afghanistan take a deadly turn. And Elizabeth Scott’s Miracle traces the stark emotional journey of the sole survivor of a plane crash. (MDGentleReader)… (altro)

Join us for an evening with three of Canada’s most acclaimed crime writers and a taste of the latest adventures of Inspector Ramirez, Hazel Micallef and Joanne Kilbourn.

The Poisoned Pawn is the gripping, fast-paced sequel to Peggy Blair’s award-winning, bestseller The Beggar’s Opera. Inspector Ramirez, a man haunted by the victims of his unsolved cases. is dispatched from crumbling beauty of Old Havana to Ottawa to bring home a priest found in possession of child pornography.

A Door in the River is the third book in the Hazel Micallef mystery series, written pseudonymously by acclaimed fiction writer Michael Redhill. When Henry Weist is found dead in the parking lot of a cigarette shop on a local First Nation reserve, Hazel Micallef finds herself involved in one of the most sensational and shocking cases of her career.

In Kaleidoscope, the thirteenth book in Gail Bowen's beloved and award-winning Joanne Kilbourn series, some very bad things happen very, very close to home, and Joanne may never be quite the same again. (thebookpile)… (altro)
