Local Teens Publish Interactive Mystery Novel
What happens when 1984 meets A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder—700 years in the future?
Find out in Monitored, a darkly comedic interactive novel created entirely by the talented teen writers of TADL’s Twisted Quills Teen Writing Group.
After two years of collaboration, creativity, and dedication, these young authors are celebrating the release of their debut novel. The book launch is free and open to the public. Readers of young adult fiction, educators, families, and supporters of local arts are encouraged to attend and celebrate the accomplishments of these remarkable young creators.
Community members are invited to:
- Meet the student writers and artists behind *Monitored*
- Hear a live reading from the novel
- Purchase a copy of the book
- Have books signed by the creators
- Attend a Q&A author panel with the teen authors
Set in a futuristic Traverse City 700 years from now, Monitored blends mystery, comedy, and speculative fiction into an immersive, interactive reading experience in which readers help shape the story. The project represents more than just a novel—it is the culmination of two years of imagination, teamwork, and perseverance by local teens.
The student authors represent schools from across the region, including Greenspire High School & Middle School, West Senior High & West Middle School, Grand Traverse Academy, East Middle School, Central High School, and the local homeschool community.
The Twisted Quills Teen Writing Group, hosted by the Traverse Area District Library, provides young writers with opportunities to develop their craft, collaborate with peers, and bring ambitious creative projects to life.
