Hi there! Thanks for inviting me to come chat with you.įunny you ask this question, because in high school, after a really hilarious viewing of Jurassic Park III, my friend Carrie and I were actually inspired to make a laminated card of things to bring if we were ever stranded on an island… “with dinosaurs and/or wolves.” Let me share with you a brief selection of advice:īring: satellite phone, books on dinosaurs and/or wolves What three things would you bring with you if you were to get stranded on a deserted island? We are extremely excited about The Reader! Please tell us a little about yourself. Hello, Miss Chee! Thank you for joining us today. She lives in California with her fast-fast dog. Traci grew up in a small town with more cows than people, and now feels most at home in the mountains, scaling switchbacks and happening upon hidden highland lakes. She studied literature and creative writing at UC Santa Cruz and earned a master of arts degree from San Francisco State University. An all-around word geek, she loves book arts and art books, poetry and paper crafts, though she also dabbles at piano playing, egg painting, and hosting potluck game nights for family and friends. Traci Chee is an author of speculative fiction for teens. With the help of this book, and the aid of a mysterious stranger with dark secrets of his own, Sefia sets out to rescue her aunt and find out what really happened the day her father was killed-and punish the people responsible. The only clue to both her aunt’s disappearance and her father’s murder is the odd rectangular object her father left behind, an object she comes to realize is a book-a marvelous item unheard of in her otherwise illiterate society. But when Nin is kidnapped, leaving Sefia completely alone, none of her survival skills can help her discover where Nin’s been taken, or if she’s even alive.

After her father is brutally murdered, she flees into the wilderness with her aunt Nin, who teaches her to hunt, track, and steal. Genres & Themes: Young Adult, Fantasy, Adventure, Magic, Pirates, Books about Books The Reader (Sea of Ink and Gold #1)by Traci Chee
