Mahogany Books, PGCMLS, and the Prince George's County Office of Human Rights present a conversation & book celebration with #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Nic Stone. Registration required.
About the book:
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of Dear Martin delivers a gripping romance about two teens: a certified genius living with a diagnosed mental disorder and a politician's son who is running from his own addiction and grief. Don't miss this gut punch of a novel about mental health, loss, and discovering you are worthy of love. Scars exist to remind us of what we've survived.
About the author:
Nic Stone is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of "Dear Martin," the novel that launched her career in 2017 and encourages readers of all ages to examine the biases in their own lives and to have honest discussions about race in today’s world. Nic’s mission is to create books and stories that speak to kids underrepresented in YA literature today—and her aim is to not only create windows in which young people are introduced to new perspectives but also mirrors in which children see their experiences and identities fully represented. Born and raised in a suburb of Atlanta, GA, Nic grew up with a wide range of cultures, religions, and backgrounds, and constantly strives to bring diverse voices and stories to her work. All of her novels have been widely embraced by teens and adults and have been the recipients of numerous accolades, awards and starred reviews. In addition to Dear Martin, her books include "Dear Justyce," "Blackout," "Whiteout," and middle-grade novel, "Clean Getaway," all New York Times bestsellers, "Odd One Out," "Jackpot," the "Shuri" (Black Panther) novels, "How to Be a (Young) Antiracist," as well as "FastPitch." Her next YA novel, "Chaos Theory," will be published on February 28, 2023. A Spelman College graduate, Nic lives in Atlanta with her family. Find her online at nicstone.info or @nicstone.
