Authors of young adult lit to appear at City Lights

A panel discussion of young adult literature will be held at City Lights Bookstore in Sylva at 1 p.m. on Saturday, August 6, featuring three young authors: Beth Revis, Myra McEntire and Victoria Schwab.

Revis is the author of Across The Universe, part science fiction, part thriller and part mystery with a touch of surprise taking the reader on a journey that spans time, space, love and life.

McEntire penned Hourglass, which follows 17-year-old Emerson Cole as she lives in a small Southern town with her brother and sister-in-law, trying to get over her problems after the death of her parents.

Schwab is the author of Near Witch. The book features 16-year-old Lexi, who lives on an enchanted moor at the edge of the village of Near and must solve the mystery when, the day after a mysterious boy appears in town, children start disappearing.

City Lights donated each of the authors’ books as gift to the new Jackson County Library Complex.
