The Ocean County Library will welcome acclaimed horror-suspense novelist Gretchen McNeil to its “Dive Into YA: It’s Not Just for Teens” virtual discussion series on Thursday, Aug. 26 at 6 p.m. The dialogue aims to illustrate how real issues, vivid writing, diverse characters and imaginative concepts propel Young Adult literature beyond traditional age categories.
McNeil is the creator of the Don’t Get Mad duology. Get Even and Get Dirty were adapted to a video series by BBC/Netflix.
The duology is a suspenseful novel about four disparate girls who join forces to take revenge on high school bullies and create dangerous enemies for themselves in the process.
McNeil also wrote Possess, Relic, 3:59 and I’m Not Your Manic Pixie Dream Girl.
