Hilton Chicago - Northwest Hall 5

Julie Cross discusses how Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling inspired her to write a boy as the lead in Tempest, her newly-released young adult time travel trilogy. What do Jackson Meyer and Harry Potter have in common? What makes them likable and why is it so interesting to follow a story through their eyes? If Jackson Meyer went to Hogwarts, what house would he be sorted into? Would he make friends with Ron Weasley or Draco Malfoy on the first day? Does he have Quidditch potential, can he easily conjure a perfect Patronus, or is time travel his only cool trick? Come meet author Julie Cross and discuss the Tempest series and other random things related and not related to her novel.
