Calendar of Events

We are thriled to celebrate the release of Ground Zero with Asheville author Alan Gratz! Click here to register to attend on Crowdcast.

Alan Gratz’s eagerly-anticipated new novel is just in time for the twentieth anniversary of 9/11. Ground Zero is another pulse-pounding and unforgettable take on history and hope, revenge and fear — and the stunning links between the past and present. The book tells the parallel stories of Brandon—who is visiting his dad at work at the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001—and Reshmina—who stumbles upon a wounded American soldier in her village in Afghanistan on September 11, 2020. Two kids. One devastating day. Nothing will ever be the same.

Alan Gratz will sign and personalize books purchased from Malaprop’s! Please leave your personalization request in the comments section during checkout.
