#1 bestselling author of historical novels for middle grade readers, Alan Gratz presents a heart-pounding, high-stakes take on the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Evie Harris can't believe her luck: She's competing in the Olympics, along with fellow American athletes like Jesse Owens. But behind all the Olympic fanfare, the Nazis have Berlin in an iron grip of terror and violence--and war is brewing. With lives on the line and her family's future at stake, Evie has to choose between following her Olympic dreams and standing up to evil... before it's too late.

Gratz will also share the highly-anticipated new graphic novel adaptation of his #1 bestselling, modern classic “Refugee.”
