About this Event
Red Balloon is thrilled to welcome Samira Ahmed for an event celebrating her new young adult novel, This Book Won't Burn! Samira Ahmed will be joined in conversation by award-winning local author, Shannon Gibney.
“[Ahmed] employs high stakes, increasing tensions, romantic near-misses, and adult hypocrisy to powerful effect.” –Publisher's Weekly, starred review
From the New York Times bestselling author of Internment comes a timely and gripping social-suspense novel about book banning, activism, and standing up for what you believe. Join Samira Ahmed, Shannon Gibney, and two guest teen readers for a timely conversation about book bans and the freedom to read. There will be audience Q&A followed by a chance to have your books signed!
