Alyson Gerber, author of the acclaimed “Braced,” will talk about her debut book and inclusion. “Braced,” intended for middle schoolers, is about a girl who has scoliosis and deals with inclusion, friendship and resilience. Gerber, who grew up in Massachusetts, herself was in a brace as a youth.

— Kirkus, Starred Review
