Ally Condie

Nico, Opal, Tyler, Emma, and Logan survived their worst fears come to life, and saved their tiny Pacific Northwest town of Timbers from a monstrous figment invasion. Now they have to figure out their new Torchbearer responsibilities as keepers of the Darkdeep, an ancient whirlpool hidden in Still Cove that can make both dreams and nightmares into reality. But when a dangerous new breed of figments starts appearing on their own, and the very environment around them begins to spiral out of control, the friends realize they have no idea what they are doing—or how they're supposed to restrain the Darkdeep. Told from alternating points of view, this chilling sequel from bestselling duo Ally Condie and Brendan Reichs will once again have readers sleeping with the lights on. (archaism)… (més)

Join local and New York Times bestselling author, Ally Condie, for the launch of her new young adult novel, Atlantia.

Rio has waited her whole life for the opportunity to leave the sheltered, underwater city of Atlantia for life on the surface. It has been said that life on the surface is harsh and unforgiving, but offers the promise of something more than the life Atlantia provides. But when Rio is forced to remain below, she is left with increasingly dangerous questions about the complex system constructed to govern the fragile divide between land and sea.

Tickets are free but you must get them from the Provo Library in advance. Tickets will be available on Monday, October 13.

7PM WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11 Teen Event | Ally Condie | Reached Ally Condie presents Reached, the exciting conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Matched trilogy.

Cassia's journey began with an error, a momentary glitch in the otherwise perfect facade of the Society. After crossing canyons to break free, she waits, silk and paper smuggled against her skin, ready for the final chapter. The wait is over. One young woman has raged against those who threaten to keep away what matters most--family, love, choice. Her quiet revolution is about to explode into full-scale rebellion. With exquisite prose, the emotionally gripping conclusion to the international-bestselling Matched trilogy returns Cassia, Ky, and Xander to the Society to save the one thing they have been denied for so long, the power to choose.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Ally Condie received a degree in English Teaching from Brigham Young University and spent a number of years teaching high school English in Utah and upstate New York. She lives with her husband and four children outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. Check out her website at www.allycondie.com.

WOW! Ally Condie @ HICKLEBEE'S! April 4 at 7:00 Ally Condie burst onto the literary scene with Matched, her dystopian novel about a big brother-lke society in which even the person you marry is selected for you. Condie completed the trilogy with Crossed and Reached. About Matched: “Condie peels back layer after dystopic layer at breakneck speed, Dylan Thomas reverberating throughout. If the Society’s at war, who’s the enemy? Of the three tablets carried by everyone, what does the red one do? …A fierce, unforgettable page-turner in its own right.” - Kirkus, Starred Review “…superb dystopian romance.” —The Wall Street Journal “Matched is a wonderful debut with strong, rather than strident, feminist undertones — a primer for young minds encouraged to question.” - Los Angeles Times About Crossed: “This is more than just a placeholder between the first and last parts of a trilogy… Condie effectively sets the stage for the final chapter in Cassia’s story by leaving the reader hanging at the end of the book. Matched fans will devour this book and be eager for the concluding one.” - VOYA About Reached: “In the last volume of Condie’s trilogy, Cassia, Ky, and Xander must save the Society from a deadly plague. Though the three perspectives can complicate the narrative, the action and romance combine to make Reached the most gratifying entry in the series. There’s no shame in crying at the end.” - Entertainment Weekly Come meet this master storyteller.

Ally Condie | Matched Trilogy: Matched, Crossed, and Reached (A)

Cost: FREE
No tickets required. For Info: 215-567-4341.

In a chillingly easy-to-imagine what-if scenario, Ally Condie explores an “enthralling and twisty dystopian” (Publishers Weekly) future in which the government makes all of its citizens’ decisions, including who they will marry and love, in her Matched trilogy of young adult novels. This New York Times bestselling series, including the titular original book, as well as Crossed and Reached, excels at “exploring the individual cost of societal perfection and the sacrifices inherent in freedom of choice” (Booklist) as its heroine rebels against this system and discovers love on her own terms. Condie, a former high school English teacher, has also authored five other books of young adult fiction. The Matched trilogy has been translated into more than 30 languages, and Disney has optioned the film rights for the series (MDGentleReader)… (més)
