“Just write ‘The Nigerian Harry Potter’ and be done. That blurb is everywhere” - Nicole.

We also harangue each other about what our worst qualities are, so you know. Mad upbeat.

Fellow Youths: Akata Witch

Does time just keep slippin’ slippin’ slippin’ into the future? Are you starting to feel out of touch with the youth today? Catch up on the latest hip YA lit, relive reads from dramatic teen years past, and spread out into stories that may not be teen lit, but are still fun to daydream about long after you put the book down.
Fellow Youths is presented in partnership with the Ann Arbor District Library by three twenty-somethings desperately trying to keep up with the world: Audrey, Kathy, and Nicole.
