Stand Up, Speak Out: The Defiant Characters Leading New YA Fantasy: From an Appalachian town to an elite school, these YA fantasies offer more than just magic—they offer a blueprint for making positive change. Authors Markelle Grabo, Brianna Jett, Britney S. Lewis, and Don Martin will introduce us to bold characters making waves in the new era of YA fantasy. We’ll explore how these characters’ refusal to be silenced empowers readers to question power structures, reclaim their autonomy, and chart a path toward change.
