Fierce Reads Tour with Anna Banks, Leigh Bardugo, Jessica Brody, Emmy Laybourne, and Gennifer Albin -- Gables Anna Banks grew up in a small town called Niceville (yes, really). She now lives in Crestview, Florida, with her husband and their daughter. Anna’s first novel, Of Poseidon, was a Macmillan Fierce Reads title, and the follow up -- Of Triton -- infuses Emma and Galen’s points of view humor, intrigue, and waves of romance. Leigh Bardugo was born in Jerusalem, gew up in Los Angeles, and graduated from Yale University. These days, she hides out in Hollywood, where she indulges her fondness for glamour, ghouls, and costuming in her other life as a makeup artist in Hollywood. She can occasionally be heard singing with her band, Captain Automatic. Siege and Storm is the sequel to her first novel, Shadow and Bone, a New York Times bestseller. Jessica Brody is the author of 52 Reasons to Hate My Father, My Life Undecided, and The Karma Club. Sometimes she wishes her memories could be erased so she could reread all her favorite books for the first time. Unremembered is a compelling and suspenseful new sci-fi series, set in a world where science knows no boundaries, memories are manipulated, and true love can never be forgotten. Emmy Laybourne is a novelist, teacher, and former character actress. Before her life as an author, Emmy performed original comedy on Comedy Central, MTV, and VH1; and acted in the movies Superstar, The In-Laws, and Nancy Drew, among others. Nowadays, Emmy loves working on the Monument 14 trilogy, and lives outside New York City with her husband, two kids, and a flock of six nifty chickens. Gennifer Albin holds a Masters degree in English Literature from the University of Missouri. A recovering academic, she turned to writing her own books. Gennifer can be found in coffee shops, dreaming up new worlds. Her debut novel, Crewel, was written for NaNo 2010.

Anna Banks, author of Of Triton In this sequel to Of Poseidon, Emma has learned that her mother is a Poseidon princess, and now struggles with an identity crisis: as a Half-Breed, she’s a freak in the human world and an abomination in the Syrena realm. Her mother’s reappearance turns the Poseidon and Triton Kingdoms against one another. Should Emma keep herself safe, or should she risk it all to save a people she’s never known?
Leigh Bardugo, author of Siege & Storm In this sequel to Shadow & Bone, Alina must try to make a life with Mal in an unfamiliar land, all while keeping her identity a secret. But when the Darkling emerges with a terrifying new power, Alina returns to the country she abandoned. She must choose between her country, her power, and the love she always thought would guide her—or risk losing everything to the oncoming storm.
Jessica Brody, author of Unremembered When Flight 121 went down, no one expected to find a live girl among the wreckage. Even more strange is that her body is unharmed and she has no memories. Crippled by a world she doesn’t know and haunted by a threat she can’t remember, Seraphina struggles to piece together her past. Her only hope is a boy who claims to know her. But can she trust him? And can he protect her from those who’ve made her forget?
Emmy Laybourne, author of Monument 14: Sky on Fire Trapped in a store by a series of disasters, Dean and Alex worked together with 12 other kids to build a refuge in Monument 14. In this sequel, Dean stays in the store with Astrid and the younger kids, and Alex heads out into the devastation with Niko and some others. If they can get to the airport, they might be evacuated to safety. But the outside world is much worse than they expected.
This is a FREE teen event, open to all!

When Alina’s military regiment is attacked by these monsters, her best friend, Mal, is mortally injured. Alina’s ability to save him reveals she has a power that could save the nation.
