Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler

Authors:

Jay Asher has worked at an independent bookstore, an outlet bookstore, a chain bookstore, and two public libraries. He hopes, someday, to work for a used bookstore. When he is not writing, Jay plays guitar and goes camping. THIRTEEN REASONS WHY was his first published novel.

Carolyn Mackler is the author of VEGAN VIRGIN VALENTINE, the acclaimed prequel to this novel, as well as the Michael L. Printz Honor Book THE EARTH, MY BUTT, AND OTHER BIG ROUND THINGS. She lives in New York.

Book:

It's 1996, and less than half of all American high school students have ever used the Internet.

Emma just got her first computer and an America Online CD-ROM.

Josh is her best friend. They power up and log on--and discover themselves on Facebook, fifteen years in the future.

Everybody wonders what their Destiny will be. Josh and Emma are about to find out.

Event Information

Blue Willow is proud to organize over 300 events every year for readers near and far. These events take place virtually and in person and are noted at the top of each event. Due to the size of the shop, we cannot effectively socially distance, so we encourage you to wear a mask at in-person events. If you'd like to go through the signing line, you will be required to wear a mask. We have surgical masks on hand if you find yourself without one.

We love bringing events to our community and hope to do so for many years to come. Though nearly all of our events are free, they aren't free for us to put on! If you love attending our events, one way you can support us is by buying the book through our bookstore. We offer shipping and store pick-up, so it's always easy to get your books!
