SUMMARY:Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures "Words & Pictures" — Erin Entrada Kelly
DESCRIPTION:Reserve your tickets here. \n\n“A profoundly relevant dystopian tale powered by one resourceful girl and a robot worth rooting for.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) \nTwelve-year-old Zuzu Santos doesn’t want a robot. She and her best friends would rather explore Bright Valley on their own. But then Zuzu meets Snap\, a know-it-all guardian robot with a limited battery life and an abundance of hope. A gripping\, stand-alone\, thematically rich survival story by two-time Newbery Medalist Erin Entrada Kelly\, for fans of The Wild Robot and A Rover’s Story. \nBright Valley Subsidized Camp #5 is not a perfect place to live. It’s dusty\, there are no trees to provide respite from the beating sun\, the trailers are falling apart\, and the water supply is heavily rationed. But to twelve-year-old Zuzu Santos and her three best friends\, Bright Valley is home. \nWhen Zuzu’s dad loses his job at Lockwood\, the corporation that controls everything from rations to education\, he isn’t given money or food or water as severance\, but a dated\, first-generation robot. They do not provide a working charging station. Zuzu names the robot Snap\, and he soon becomes part of the Bright Valley family. But Snap’s battery is dwindling every day\, and though Snap is prepared for his inevitable reset\, Zuzu isn’t. She would do whatever it takes to keep Snap alive. The problem is\, Snap would do the same for Zuzu and her friends\, no matter the cost. \nErin Entrada Kelly tells a moving story of friendship and family\, rich with themes and characters that will resonate with readers. The Second Life of Snap is a futuristic book for middle graders that is grounded\, full of heart and humor\, and unforgettable. An excellent choice for fans of The Wild Robot\, A Rover’s Story\, and Erin Entrada Kelly’s own We Dream of Space. \n\nErin Entrada Kelly is the author of the Newbery Medal–winning novelsHello\, Universe and The First State of Being\, which was also named a finalist for the National Book Award. She received a Newbery Honor for her acclaimed novel We Dream of Space. Erin Entrada Kelly grew up in Lake Charles\, Louisiana\, and now lives in Delaware. She teaches in the MFA in writing for children and young adults program at Hamline University. Her short fiction has been nominated for the Philippines Free Press Literary Award for Short Fiction and the Pushcart Prize. Before becoming a children’s author\, she worked as a journalist and magazine editor and received numerous awards for community service journalism\, feature writing\, and editing from the Louisiana Press Association and the Associated Press. \nErin Entrada Kelly’s debut novel\, Blackbird Fly\, was a Kirkus Best Book of the Year\, a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year\, an ALSC Notable Book\, and an Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature Honor Book. She is also the author of The Land of Forgotten Girls\, winner of the Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature; You Go First\, an Indie Next Pick; Lalani of the Distant Sea\, an Indie Next Pick; Those Kids from Fawn Creek\, named to numerous best-of-the-year lists; The Second Life of Snap\, which received six starred reviews; and six popular novels for younger readers\, Maybe Maybe Marisol Rainey\, Surely Surely Marisol Rainey\, Only Only Marisol Rainey\, Your Turn Marisol Rainey\, Felix Powell\, Boy Dog\, and Felix Powell\, Boy Squirrel\, which she also illustrated. Erin Entrada Kelly’s acclaimed nonfiction debut\, At Last She Stood\, was the recipient of the Robert F. Sibert Honor. It tells the sweeping story of Filipino World War II guerrilla fighter Josefina Guerrero.

SUMMARY:Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures "Words & Pictures" — Elizabeth Acevedo
DESCRIPTION:Reserve your tickets here. \n\nFrom National Book Award-winning\, New York Times-bestselling author and renowned poet Elizabeth Acevedo comes a white-knuckle journey to self-understanding and doing the right thing\, no matter the cost. \nLil is anything but small. She’s rebellious\, she’s loyal; she’s figuring out what kind of good person she wants to be\, or if she wants to be a good person at all. But more than anything? Lil wants to be free. \nWhen her instinct for freedom leads to another stay in D.C. juvenile detention\, Lil knows she’s lucky to just be on probation. But judgment\, guilt\, and an ankle monitor weigh heavily on her\, and she can’t shake that pinned-down feeling. \nThe only person who might understand is her big brother\, Aldwin. Except he’s more distant now than just the hundred miles from his college. Something’s been off with him for several months\, but only Lil seems to realize how important it is to get to him. \nAs her court hearing ticks closer\, a question looms over Lil as the missed phone calls and strange texts from her brother pile will she stay put\, or put her future freedom on the line?” \n\nElizabeth Acevedo is the New York Times-bestselling author of The Poet X\, which won the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature\, the Michael L. Printz Award\, the Pura Belpré Award\, the Carnegie Medal\, the Boston Globe–Horn Book Award\, and the Walter Award. She is also the author of With the Fire on High—which was named a best book of the year by the New York Public Library\, NPR\, Publishers Weekly\, and School Library Journal—and Clap When You Land\, which was a Boston Globe–Horn Book Honor book and a Kirkus Prize finalist. She holds a BA in Performing Arts from The George Washington University and an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Maryland. Acevedo has been a fellow of Cave Canem and Cantomundo\, and a participant in the Callaloo Writer’s Workshops. She is a National Poetry Slam Champion\, and resides in Washington\, DC\, with her family.
