Last Saturday, MB14, the new teen advisory group at Book Passage, Corte Madera, Calif., hosted the YA authors touring with Stages on Pages, a tour that benefits the performing arts. The authors read from their books and spoke of how their experiences in the arts, including screen writing, opera singing, circus performance and ballet, provided foundations for them to write books for young adults. The event also included lunch and signings. Pictured in the store's newly established teen section: (from l.)
