The Chicago Young Adult Book Festival is about gender and witches, race and invisibility, violence and escape, distant worlds and this world. It’s about bullying and redemption, crime and show business, and dogs that can read minds. It’s about ghosts, goldmines, blind grandparents, and how to win the love of your life in ten easy steps.
And that doesn’t cover half of it.
The subject matter is endless because CYABF is about everything.
