Books
The Incredibly Human Henson Blayze - National Book Award finalist and Newbery Honoree Derrick Barnes's groundbreaking novel masterfully combines a modern-day allegory with classic-style tall tales to weave a compelling story of Americaās obsession with relegating Black people to labor or entertainment. Spanning the 1800s to today, this exceptional story shows how much has changed over centuries. . . and, at the same time, how little.
This is the 20th annual Bookmarks Festival on 9/27, where they will host over 50 authors: https://bookmarksnc.org/festival
This festival is free to attend!
Students might also be interested to know that Rick Riordan (Percy Jackson series) & Mark Oshiro will be at the Closing Event on 9/27!
