Come talk about reading, writing, and publishing with local Young Adult author Kelly Murashige at the library where she first fell in love with books. A lifelong McCully-Mōʿiliʿili Library patron, Kelly writes contemporary fiction with fantastical twists rooted in Japanese mythology and culture. Her debut YA novel, The Lost Souls of Benzaiten, comes out with Soho Teen on July 23, 2024. This program is recommended for teens ages 13 and older and adults who love YA books.
