HEY #DRAGONCON PEOPLE 1. Did you know the YA Lit Track has a book club? (several actually!) 2. Did you know that my wibbly wobbly timey wimey Back-to-the-Future-inspired '80s-set mystery I'LL STOP THE WORLD is one of the YALT Book Club picks this year?

It's got time travel and pop culture references, a main character with raging unmedicated ADHD, solid friendships, a sweet sapphic love story, a small town scandal, found family, at least one dead body, and plenty of '80s nostalgia. I hope I'll see you at the con!
