Pine Reads brings YA authors Kathleen Glasgow, Stephanie Elliot and Kelly deVos to Worlds of Words. Please join us to discuss the value of difficult topics on YA literature.

Kathleen Glasgow’s Girl In Pieces (in paperback April 10, 2018) has been named to best of lists by The New York Public Library, Amazon, TAYSHA, Goop, TeenVogue, BN Teen, Refinery29, EW.com and TeenReads. Her second young adult novel will be published by Random House/Delacorte in 2019.

Stephanie Elliot’s Sad Perfect is the story of a 16-year-old girl with ARFID, Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, a unique eating disorder. This is a heartbreaking, visceral perspective on disease, love and recovery.

Kelly deVos’s Fat Girl On a Plane comes out this June and is told in dual Fat and Skinny perspectives, about smart fashion, pursuing your dreams, and loving yourself.

The panel also includes an MD from COPE Community Services.
