About The Art Thieves
TO: Angel Wilson ([email protected])
FROM: Stevie Henry ([email protected])
Thanks for coming to see me; but by the time you read this, it will be too late. No one will have started to panic, yet; but in less than two months nothing will be the same. What came first, The Chicken or the Egg Flu? I wish it mattered. But let's just say, maybe go back to wearing a mask, bathing in sanitizer, and avoid birds and eggs for a bit...
I did not K*ll my brother. I did quite the opposite, really.
It's the year 2052. Stevie Henry is a Cherokee girl working at a museum in Texas, trying to save up enough money to go to college. The world around her is in a cycle of drought and superstorms, ice and fire ... but people get by. But it's about to get a whole lot worse.
When a mysterious boy shows up at Stevie's museum saying that he's from the future -- and telling her what is to come -- she refuses to believe him. But soon she will have no choice.
From the author of the Walter Award-winning Man Made Monsters comes a YA novel that conjures our futures in startling life - the ones that we are headed towards, and the ones we can still work towards.
Andrea L. Rogers is a citizen of the Cherokee Nation. She grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She has a forthcoming picture book from Heartdrum called When We Gather and a picture book from Levine Querido called Chooch Helped. Andrea's YA collection of short horror stories, Man Made Monsters, received six starred reviews and won the Walter Dean Myers Award for Teens. She lives in Fayetteville, AR and can be found at andrealrogers.com.
