Laugh, cry, and cringe over memories of raging hormones and awkward adolescences when we revisit the fiction that defined young adulthood for so many of us, with our special guests:

Lizzie Skurnick is the editor-in-chief of Lizzie Skurnick Books, which reissues classic young adult fiction for the new era. She's the author of Shelf Discovery, a memoir about teen reading, and That Should Be a Word, a collection of wordplay from her New York Times magazine column.

Joanna Miller is a writer, producer, and the co-founder of "Blumesday" an annual, live tribute to Judy Blume that has been featured in publications around the country.

This is an evening for adults. Free and open to all - Wine for purchase.

Sponsor: An evening for adults. Presented by: Portland Jewish Academy, Mittleman Jewish Community Center & PJ Library
