Boston Book Festival

Bring your curiosity and sense of adventure to explore these mysteries, layered with secrets and mind-boggling twists! NAACP Image Award and Margaret Edwards Award winner Kekla Magoon takes us into Secret Library, where 11 year old Dally finds that each book is a portal to a precise moment in time and, when she looks closely, reveals truths about her family. New York Times best-selling author Jasmine Warga weaves a tale of missing paintings and ghostly girls, along with a reptilian friend that helps crack the case in A Strange Thing Happened in Cherry Hall. In Lola, Karla Arenas Valenti introduces Florestra, a land of mythos and monsters that the title character Lola must navigate and outwit in order to save her brother. This discussion of sleuthing and solving stories will be led by literacy educator Nicholl Montgomery. This session is sponsored by Simmons University.
