YA Author Maggie Thrash: STRANGE LIES
Avid presents Young Adult author Maggie Thrash for her latest book, Strange Lies on Friday, October 20, from 6:30 - 7:30pm at our Prince Ave. location. This event will be free and open to the public.
Critically acclaimed author Maggie Thrash's second novel in the Strange Truth series blends crackling suspense, subversive humor, and biting social commentary to become the "definition of a page-turner." (John Corey Whaley).
Only at Winship Academy would an evening science expo turn into a criminal fiasco. The student body president is maimed in a horrifying and tragic accident -- but was it accident or attack? As the case bleeds from Winship Academy to the surrounding city, the deep fault lines of racial tension in Atlanta's history reveal explosive hatred still simmering under the city's surface.
Thrash grew up in the south. She is the author of the graphic memoir Honor Girls (A Los Angeles Times Book Prize nominee). Strange Truth and Strange Lies were inspired by her experiences at an exclusive prep school in Atlanta, where everyone had secrets.
