Whether a parallel world of ghosts, magic, or mystical creatures, the desire to imagine is one of the joys of youth… and never really leaves us if we treat it carefully. These authors know how to keep imagination alive-and how to use it to create magnificent worlds. Katherine Rundell’s YA sensation, Impossible Creatures, crackles with delight in a world of unmapped islands with magical creatures. She is joined by Linh Nguyễn, whose No Place Like Home is a portal fantasy unlike any other, and Melissa Yue, whose Misadventures in Ghosthunting shares the fascinating protagonist Emma’s ghosthunting history. Together, they’ll discuss how they begin to construct such creative realities, how to keep them alive-and why they’re so passionate about magical fiction. Grades 4-7. Moderated by Jael Richardson.
