Join us to meet local author, MSU Professor and middle grade author, Amy Noelle Parks, for a conversation featuring her new book: "Averil Offline." We especially welcome families for this event and will facilitate a roundtable to share challenges and perspectives on kids and technology.A fun, fast-paced story about a girl determined to cut the cord with her helicopter parents - Averil Offline -features twelve-year-old coder Averil can’t do anything without her parents knowing.
“Two kids rebel against intrusive surveillance. . . . Averil and Max’s burgeoning friendship is well developed and will pull in readers. Parks also deftly grapples with relevant issues, such as the sexism that women and girls in STEM often face, the overwhelming presence of technology in our lives, and young people’s need for autonomy. . . . An absorbing tale of determination, friendship, and tech gone wrong.” —Kirkus Reviews
