Sharon M. Draper

4-5PM MONDAY, MARCH 25 Meet & Greet Signing | Sharon Draper: Panic Two-time Coretta Scott King Award-winner Sharon Draper visits to sign copies of her new teen novel Panic.

Diamond knows not to get into a car with a stranger. But what if the stranger is well-dressed and handsome? On his way to meet his wife and daughter? And casting a movie that very night—a movie in need of a star dancer? Then she might make the wrong decision. It's a nightmare come true: Diamond Landers has been kidnapped. She was at the mall with a friend, alone for only a few brief minutes—and now she's being held captive, forced to endure horrors beyond what she ever could have dreamed, while her family and friends experience their own torments and wait desperately for any bit of news.
