From first crushes and friendships to family, culture, and finding your voice, moderator Grace Sheehy (senior librarian of library resources at Mission Viejo Public Library) speaks with authors James Burks (Box Tales: Super Terrific Showtime!), Joshua Pruett (Phineas and Ferb: A-MAZE-Ing Creature Double Feature), Richard Ashley Hamilton (Leo Da Vinci: Renaissance Kid), and Michael Grover (Jake Spooky and the Wolves Within Him) as they explore how they craft powerful coming-of-age stories centering on identity, change, and self-discovery, ultimately helping young readers navigate their own journeys.
