The Yellow-Lighted Bookshop

Meg is one of the most innovative and challenging authors working in young adult fiction today. The award winning author of How I Live Now, What I Was, The Great Godden, and Friends Like These, Meg has written compelling stories that cross genres and boundaries, with vital and unforgettable characters. Her focus on narrative and empathy with her characters means that her books are subtle and beautiful – an unusual quality in writing for young adults. Her heroes are ordinary people dealing with extraordinary situations and the choices they make.

Meg will be in conversation about her stunning new book, Almost Nothing Happened, with Tiffany Murray, author of YA classic Diamond Star Halo and this year’s My Family and Other Rock Stars. They will discuss why writing for teenagers is so important, and how it has the capacity to change lives.

This event would be great for young adults, teachers, parents, and anyone who writes, as well as a more general audience.
