Laura Amy Schlitz’s Newbery Medal-winning novel, Good Masters! Sweet Ladies!, immersed readers in the sights, sounds and smells of medieval life, warts and all. Her masterfully constructed Amber & Clay transports young readers to ancient Greece, a place with serious inequality and injustice where young people could become part of history and where ghosts and gods walk the mortal world.
Bret Anthony Johnston's debut novel, Remember Me Like This, follows a family's agonizing journey towards some sense of peace after their son, Justin, miraculously returns home four years after his kidnapping. His return, however, is tempered by the pain and grief each member of the family has carried with them for so long. Johnston is also the Creative Writing Director at Harvard.
