SUMMARY:Offsite: Elizabeth Acevedo w/ Dujie Tahat at Town Hall Seattle
DESCRIPTION:Town Hall Seattle presents Elizabeth Acevedo for her new nove
 l Anger is Only a Shadow. She'll be joined by poet Dujie Tahat. Register
  here! Elizabeth Acevedo’s new novel\, Anger Is Only a Shadow\, centers 
 around teenage Lil\, who is anything but small. She’s rebellious\, she’s
  loyal\; she’s figuring out what kind of good person she wants to be\, o
 r if she wants to be a good person at all. But more than anything\, Lil 
 wants to be free. When her instinct for freedom leads to another stay in
  juvenile detention\, Lil knows she’s lucky to just be on probation. But
  judgment\, guilt\, and an ankle monitor weigh heavily on her. The only 
 person who might understand is her big brother\, Aldwin\, but he’s a hun
 dred miles away at college. Something’s been off with him\, too. As her 
 court hearing ticks closer\, a question looms over Lil: Will she follow 
 the rules until her sentencing or put her future freedom on the line? Af
