Centre for Stories

YA authors Alicia Tuckerman and Mark Smith explore Mark’s latest release, Land of Fences. They will discuss crafting young protagonists with the fierce tenacity of Kas, Finn and their friends, and the idea that in fiction (and life), teens are increasingly responsible for not only saving themselves but also the worlds they live in. Is dystopian fiction merely entertainment, or is it training?
