Worlds of Words Teen Reading Ambassadors invite you to meet Bill Konigsberg, author of Destination Unknown!

From Scholastic Press: It’s 1987 in New York City, and Micah is at a dance club, trying to pretend he’s more out and outgoing than he really is. C.J. isn’t just out — he’s completely out there, and Micah can’t help but be both attracted to and afraid of someone who travels so loudly and proudly through the night. A connection occurs. Is it friendship? Romance? Is C.J. the one with all the answers… or does Micah bring more to the relationship than it first seems?

As their lives become more and more entangled in the AIDS epidemic that’s laying waste to their community, and the AIDS activism that will ultimately bring a strong voice to their demands, whatever Micah and C.J. have between them will be tested, stretched, and strained — but it will also be a lifeline in a time of death, a bond that will determine the course of their futures.

Bill Konigsberg is the award-winning author of six young adult novels including The Porcupine of Truth, Openly Straight and The Music of What Happens. Prior to turning his attention to writing books for teens, Bill was a sports writer and editor for The Associated Press and ESPN.com. He lives in Phoenix, Arizona, with his husband, Chuck, and their Australian Labradoodles, Mabel and Buford.

U of A Campus Store will be on site with copies of The Glass Girl for sale.

This event includes a conversation between Kongisberg and the Reading Ambassadors followed by audience questions and a book signing. This event is free and open to the public.
