Friday, 27 Jul 2012, 06:00pm - 07:00pm

Jodi Picoult has created her own genre. She writes edge-of-your-seat stories about everyday people facing extraordinary situations, inviting her readers to wonder: what would I do?
Between the Lines, her first book for young adults, is no exception. Written with her teenage daughter Samantha, who dreamed up the idea for the story, it’s a funny, charming story about what happens when happily ever after … isn’t.
Between the Lines is for every girl who’s believed, however whimsically, that her one true soulmate lives in the pages of a book. Bookish loner Delilah is on Team Edward. But it’s not him she truly longs for; it’s Prince Oliver, the hero of a fairytale she finds in the library – and in a flight of boundary-crossing fantasy, she gets the chance to help him become real.
Jodi and Samantha share their creative journey in this special event.
