“Carry On is a story about a person [Simon Snow] who has been a powerful magician who has to save the world. Simon is the worst chosen one who has ever been chosen. He’s super powerful, but he can’t make his powers work when he’s supposed to. … It’s also a love story because he falls love with Bas, his longtime nemesis,’ the author explained on the phone from her home in Omaha, Neb.
Ms. Rowell will speak at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Carnegie Library Lecture Hall in Oakland as part of the Pittsburgh Arts and Lectures Kids and Teens series. Her Eleanor and Park won a Boston Globe Horn Book Award for best work of young adult fiction in 2013.”
