SUMMARY:Book Launch: Girl Minus X
DESCRIPTION:Join Anne Stone and guests Hiromi Goto and Emily Pohl-Weary for a riveting discussion in celebration of 𝘎𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘴 𝘟\, a new speculative fiction title published by Wolsak & Wynn.⁣⁣⁣\n⁣⁣⁣\n“𝘎𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘴 𝘟 is what happens when great writing meets a mesmeric\, page-turning plot. The best speculative fiction captures what we dimly imagine but intimately feel; and this book wins in its gripping tale of intense social crises\, complicated family members\, dismal pressures from school and a young woman awakening to her own uncanny power. Anne Stone will captivate both teens and adults alike.” – David Chariandy\, author of 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘺𝘢𝘯𝘵 and 𝘉𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳⁣⁣⁣\n⁣⁣⁣\nSigned copies of 𝘎𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘴 𝘟 are available for purchase through @MassyBooks.⁣⁣⁣\nhttps://bit.ly/358YHry⁣⁣⁣\n⁣⁣⁣\nAbout the Speakers:⁣⁣⁣\n⁣⁣⁣\nAnne Stone’s latest novel\, 𝘎𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘔𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘴 𝘟 (Fall 2020)\, tells the story of a girl with an eidetic memory and a traumatic past\, navigating a world in which a slow creeping virus erodes memory.
