SUMMARY:It Takes Two: On Writing Novels in Verse
DESCRIPTION:Grades 3 – 7 \nModerated by Ismery Pavon\, program coordinator at Miami Book Fair. \nBefore he was a household name\, Cassius Clay was a kid with struggles like any other. Kwame Alexander and James Patterson join forces to vividly depict the legendary boxer’s life up to age 17 in both prose and verse\, including his childhood friends\, struggles in school\, the racism he faced\, and his discovery of boxing. Readers will learn about Clay’s family and neighbors in Louisville\, Kentucky\, and how\, after a thief stole his bike\, Clay began training as an amateur boxer at age 12. Before long\, he won his first Golden Gloves bout and began his transformation into the unrivaled Muhammad Ali. Fully authorized by and written in cooperation with the Muhammad Ali estate – and vividly brought to life by Dawud Anyabwile’s dynamic artwork – Becoming Muhammad Ali captures the budding charisma and youthful personality of one of the greatest sports heroes of all time. \nPunching the Air\, a novel in verse\, tells the story of Amal Shahid\, who has always been an artist and a poet. Then one fateful night\, an altercation in a gentrifying neighborhood escalates into tragedy. Suddenly\, at just sixteen years old\, Amal’s bright future is upended: he is convicted of a crime he didn’t commit and sent to prison. Despair and rage almost sink him until he turns to the refuge of his words\, his art. This never should have been his story. But can he change it? \nFREE bonus download: Becoming Muhammad Ali Educator’s Guide

SUMMARY:Two Fantasy Superstar Writers on Forbidden Magic\, Forgotten Lives
DESCRIPTION:To see the LIVE Q&A replay\, click the “Next Up” arrow on the player beside the volume icon.\nIn Leigh Bardugo’s Ninth House\, Galaxy “Alex” Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. The sole survivor of a horrific and unsolved multiple homicide\, Alex is offered a second chance: to attend one of the world’s most prestigious universities on a full ride. What’s the catch\, and why her? Still searching for answers\, Alex arrives in on campus tasked by her mysterious benefactors with monitoring the activities of Yale’s secret societies.

Schwab\, author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue\, a tale of a woman in 18th-century France who makes a proverbial deal with the devil. Freed from one miserable fate only to be rushed into another\, Addie then begins a hauntingly lonely journey spanning three centuries in search of a sense of identity and someone\, anyone\, with whom she can genuinely connect. \nModerated by Marci Calabretta Cancio-Bello\, Miami Book Fair program coordinator.

SUMMARY:In Conversation: Symbiosis: When Ocean Meets Asphalt
DESCRIPTION:Join multidisciplinary artist Gustavo Oviedo and Alan Ket\, co-founder and curator of the Museum of Graffiti\, as they discuss “Symbiosis\,” Oviedo’s visually arresting exhibition that reflects a highly personal\, self-taught style of art. \nExploring the relationship between the bustle of Miami’s vibrant metropolitan streets and the tranquility of Biscayne Bay’s aquatic life\, currents\, and marine dystopia\, Oviedo’s pieces includes large paintings of loose sea-like forms\, mixed media collages\, and visual representations of otherworldliness devoid of human language or graffiti letters. His palette is as colorful as the brightest coral reefs dipped in fluorescent pigments\, and his ocean discoveries of shipwrecks\, corals\, and found pieces of pollution give power to his creative output and to a body of work that is rooted in marine life – and the impact of the streets of Miami he once prolifically tagged. The artist’s offerings convey the beauty of our waters\, but scream out that he is not naïve to the recurring problem of humankind’s disrespect for our natural resources. \nOviedo’s book shares its name with the exhibition\, and includes images from across his entire catalog of work inspired by Biscayne Bay. Through his ongoing 131 Projects\, the artist created the graphic identity of Miami Book Fair Online’s new multimedia initiative\, Here in Florida. \nSponsored by

SUMMARY:Three Debut Poets on Family\, Love\, and Race
DESCRIPTION:Tommye Blount’s Fantasia for the Man in Blue orchestrates a chorus of distinct\, unforgettable voices that speak to the experience of the black\, queer body as a site of desire and violence. The speaker in Ricardo Alberto Maldonado’s The Life Assignment sorts through relationships\, trying to discern what was healthy from what was exploitative\, and asks: When tenderness is in short supply\, how can one protect oneself? How can one find home? In Horsepower: Poems\, Joy Priest explores the memories of her speaker – a mixed-race child being raised by her white supremacist grandfather in the shadow of Churchill Downs\, Kentucky’s world-famous horseracing track – before arriving in a state of self-awareness to confront the personal and political landscape of a harshly segregated Louisville. \nModerated by John King\, founder of The Drunken Odyssey: A Podcast About the Writing Life. \nSponsored by: \n \nIn partnership with:

SUMMARY:Virtual Pachanga: The YA Edition
DESCRIPTION:Grades 9 – 12 \nIn Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo\, 16-year-old Camino Rios lives for the summer – especially the first week of June – when her father visits her in the Dominican Republic. But this time\, on the day when his plane is supposed to land\, Camino arrives at the airport to see crowds of crying people. Roughly 1\,500 miles away in New York City\, Yahaira Rios is called to the principal’s office\, where she meets her “Ms. Universe-perfect” mother with her hair in rollers waiting to tell her that her father\, her hero\, has died in a plane crash\, and her entire world changes. Separated by distance – and Papi’s secrets – the two girls are forced to face a new reality\, one in which their worlds collide\, and their lives are forever altered. \nIsmée Williams’ This Train is Being Held is about Alex\, a baseball player. A great one. His papi is pushing him to go pro\, but Alex maybe wants to be a poet. Not that Papi would understand or allow that. Isa is a dancer. She’d love to go pro\, if only her Havana-born mom weren’t dead set against it\, just like she’s dead set against her daughter falling for a Latino. And Isa’s privileged private-school life – with her dad losing his job and her older brother struggling with mental illness – is falling apart. Not that she’d ever tell that to Alex. Fate\, and the New York City subway\, bring Alex and Isa together. Is it enough to keep them together when they need each other most? \nFREE bonus download: Official Spotify playlist for This Train is Being Held \nSponsored by \n \n

SUMMARY:Storytime: The Alphabet’s Alphabet
DESCRIPTION:Grades PreK – 2 \nHere’s a totally twisted take on the alphabet that invites readers to look at it in a whole new way: An A is an H that just won’t stand up right\, a B is a D with its belt on too tight\, and a Z is an L in a tug-of-war fight! Twenty-six letters\, unique from each other – and yet\, every letter looks just like one another! Kind of like … one big family. The Alphabet’s Alphabet is a mind-bending riddle of delightful doppelgängers and surprising disguises that reveal we’re more alike than we may think. You’ll never look at the alphabet the same way again! \n  \nSponsored by:\n \nThe Children’s Trust Family Resource Guide | Romero Britto Coloring Book \nBook Club Flyer – English | Book Club Flyer – Spanish | Book Club Flyer – Creole

SUMMARY:Carolyn Forché: A Reading From In the Lateness of the World: Poems
DESCRIPTION:Carolyn Forché’s first new collection in 17 years\, In the Lateness of the World: Poems is a tenebrous book of crossings\, of migrations across oceans and borders but also between the present and the past\, life and death. The poems call to the reader from the end of the world where they are sifting through the aftermath of history. Forché envisions a place where “you could see everything at once … every moment you have lived or place you have been.” The world here seems to be steadily vanishing\, but in the moments before the uncertain end\, an illumination arrives and “there is nothing that cannot be seen.” In the Lateness of the World: Poems is a revelation from one of the finest poets writing today. \nSponsored by:
