PRESS RELEASE INFO:

Growth Spurt Reading Series

Young adult books aren't just for young adults anymore. Many of today's best young (and old) writers
are writing young adult books, and it's not about mice driving motorcycles; they're simply great books about
people who are young. (We consider "Catcher in the Rye" a young adult book, thank you very much.) The
best young adult writers around will read from their novels and, just to make sure they understand their
characters, will finish the evening by facing each other in quiz bowl, with questions covering topics
you're supposed to learn in high school. Hosted by "Catch" and "Life as a Loser" author Will Leitch, the
Growth Spurt Reading Series exemplifies the very best young adult literature has to offer ... especially for
adults.
