Love is in the air, with unforgettable characters and love stories from two of today’s most celebrated and groundbreaking YA novelists, both of whom are seeing their work translated into film on the big screen. In Mason Deaver’s heartbreaking yet joyous I Wish You All the Best, Ben De Backer is thrown out of their parents’ house after coming out as nonbinary, but a new love interest, forged in friendship, points the way to a happier future. In Abigail Hing Wen’s Loveboat Forever, a sequel to her New York Times bestselling, movie-adapted debut Loveboat, Taipei, takes us on a whirlwind romantic adventure featuring young music prodigy Pearl Wong. Moderated by Sharon Levin, founder of the Bay Area Children’s Literature List.
