Mysterious Strangers: April Henry & Naz Kutub
General Admission Pass required for entry
In Oregon Book Award winner April Henry‘s Two Truths and a Lie, Nell is stranded with her acting troupe in a creepy motel, where they meet strangers from another high school, including the mysterious and handsome Knox. A night of harmless fun turns into a matter of life and death as guests start to go missing, and Nell has to act like her life depends on it — because it does. And in Naz Kutub‘s debut The Loophole, the mystery is magical, as a gay Muslim boy travels the world for a second chance at love after a possibly magical heiress grants him three wishes. Is she magic? Or just rich? And will he be able to track down his missing ex-boyfriend? Moderated by Isabelle Ibibo of Multnomah County Library.
