Brooklyn Book Festival 09

The brooklyn book festival took place at columbus park by brooklyn borough hall in NYC on Sunday September 13, 2009. At the festival there was a section for young adults. I attended and went to a author panel they had set up for younng adult readers. They had all day -long literary events scheduled for us teens and this video is one of the panels that includes three talented young adult writers, Laurie halse anderson ( Winter girls), Gayle Forman ( If i stay), and G. Neri ( Surf Mules). This panel's theme was Breaking through, these author's novels featured teens forced to make difficult decisions under extraordinary and less than favorable circumstances. This panel discussion was awesome and i had a great time. I wanted to share with you all who are book lovers and enjoy reading young adult books like i do. Since some of you may not live in nyc and couldnt attend the event. I figured it would be great to show you a few clips that i took so you can enjoy and see some and hear from some great young adult writers. Hope you all enjoy!!!!
