[close] Join us and ask author D.M. Cherubim about the groundbreaking and controversial YA book, "Mary Baker and The Eye of the Tiger," a fantasy adventure that includes the Holy Spirit and wizards and witches in the same novel. "Mary Baker" has already received public accolades and scathing reviews, ranging from Readers' Favorite, which called it "rare and unusual" and gave it a Silver Medal review, to Kirkus Reviews, which derided it as a "New Age Hogwarts." The typical review from young adults and teenagers? "Awesome!" Meet the controversial and irascible author, a former award-winning journalist, humor columnist and Washington, D.C. bureau chief, on October 12, 2013, from 8 to 10 p.m. Ask her anything, but try to stay near these general ideas: Do magic and spirituality belong in a fantasy adventure book? Is there such a thing as New Age magic? Or is this just a thinly veiled American Harry Potter? And is this safe at any speed for children and teenagers? Wands and swords advised.

[close] St Gonzaga's is a Catholic boarding school where you are sent if you are a "troubled" teenager. You can be sent here by the state if you are in the foster system, your parents, or your school. The goal of the school is to tame these teenagers and the staff is not held to much of a standard. Abuse by the staff is not uncommon and good staff members are few and far between.
