Magic Goes Global: chapter 510 + bay area book festival

Sunday, May 8 | 1:30 PM - 2:15 PM, Young Readers Stage | Bay Area Book Festival

In her middle-grade debut, The Marvellers, bestselling author Dhonielle Clayton breathes fresh (and beautifully inclusive) new life into the magic school trope. Ella is an eleven-year-old Black girl from New Orleans, and her classmates hail from all around the world, bringing their own global traditions and supernatural powers to bear on this spellbinding new fantasy world. The result? Simply marvelous. You won’t want to miss this thrilling introduction to the world of The Marvellers as Clayton is interviewed by Tiffany Golden, teaching artist at Oakland-based youth writing and publishing center Chapter 510 and Makissi Houphouet, youth author at Chapter 510.
