Don’t miss out on attending Powerhouse’s latest Middle Grade Lit Camp program! Spring Lit Camp includes virtual book club meetings every two weeks to discuss five brand-new middle-grade novels. The discussion will be led by Brittany, our beloved Children’s Book Specialist, and as an extra bonus, campers have the unique opportunity to do a Q&A with the author directly.

Tom Bissell vividly renders the complex worlds of characters on the brink of artistic and personal crisis–writers, actors, and other creative types who see things slightly differently from the rest of us. Surreal, poignant, squirmingly awkward–and always just a little bit off–this collection is a brilliant new offering from one of the most versatile and talented writers in America today.

The American Book Award Winner has now been adapted for Young Adults!! Hip-hop is one of the most dominant and influential cultures in America, giving new voice to the younger generation.

Set over two days and two nights, THE NIGHT ALWAYS COMES follows Lynette’s frantic search across the city, encountering pervasive greed, money old and new, those who are benefiting and those left behind by a city in boom. Desperate for help that doesn’t come, she makes a dangerous choice that sets her on a precarious, frenzied spiral.
