SUMMARY:Learning the Power of Poetry with Bestselling Author Elizabeth Acevedo (9th-12th)
DESCRIPTION:Learning the Power of Poetry with Bestselling Author Elizabeth Acevedo (9th-12th)\nTuesday\, July 23 at 2:00 pm via digital live-stream!    \nREGISTER HERE \nYou’re invited to learn about the power of poetry with Elizabeth Acevedo! In this exciting author conversation and Q&A\, Acevedo will provide a short reading from her National Book Award winning and New York Times bestselling novel-in-verse\, The Poet X serving as the backdrop to this amazing chat! \nThe Poet X is about an Afro-Latina heroine who tells her story with blazing words and powerful truth. Xiomara Batista feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves\, she has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking. But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say\, and she pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook\, reciting the words to herself like prayers—especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman\, who her family can never know about. \nWith Mami’s determination to force her daughter to obey the laws of the church\, Xiomara understands that her thoughts are best kept to herself. So when she is invited to join her school’s slam poetry club\, she doesn’t know how she could ever attend without her mami finding out. But she still can’t stop thinking about performing her poems. Because in the face of a world that may not want to hear her\, Xiomara refuses to be silent. \nA virtual author talk you don’t want to miss–come create out loud with Elizabeth Acevedo! Register now! \nAbout the Author \nElizabeth Acevedo is the New York Times-bestselling author of The Poet X\, which won the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature\, the Michael L. Printz Award\, the Pura Belpré Award\, the Carnegie medal\, the Boston Globe–Horn Book Award\, and the Walter Award.

So Jack builds a team: his dorky best friend\, Quint; the reformed middle school bully\, Dirk; Jack’s loyal pet monster\, Rover; and Jack’s crush\, June. With their help\, Jack is going to slay Blarg\, achieve the ultimate Feat of Apocalyptic Success\, and be average no longer!
