Chris Shoemaker will moderate. Come and test your knowledge of popular dystopian themes!Where: New York Public Library, 42nd Street Branch, Bergen ForumWhen: Wednesday, March 28 from 6PM to 8PMWhy: Because when the blank hits the blank, you really want to be ready.I'll also be reading at the Kipp Academy on Thursday but I think you have to be a student there to attend, so maybe you can just read to yourself that day.Here's a full schedule of events featuring some of the top YA authors of the moment.Come and be inspired!
