Each of us – including your favourite YA authors – has a treasured protagonist, antagonist or side character who we firmly believe should have nothing bad ever happen to them. Listen to this special gala event from 2021 All-Day YA as Gary Lonesborough (The Boy from the Mish), Zana Fraillon (The Lost Soul Atlas), Garth Nix (The Left-Handed Booksellers of London), Leanne Hall (The Gaps), Michael Pryor (Gap Year in Ghost Town), Jenna Guillaume (You Were Made for Me) and Will Kostakis (Rebel Gods) share which characters they would protect at all costs from malevolent authors and literary harm. Introduced by Amelia Lush and hosted by Will Kostakis, with a Q&A; at the end. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
