This is a Mass Kids Lit Fest event sponsored by the Massachusetts Center for the Book.

Kingdom of Dust follows Amara, a young girl on a quest to find her land’s lost storytellers in order to save her family and society. Inspired by West African mythology, the novel blends lush prose with accessible storytelling for readers of all ages. Rooted in themes of climate justice, cultural memory, and the restoration of her people’s stories, Amara’s journey has earned the book recognition within the contemporary fantasy canon.
