On May 4, 2019, PRH Audio will be in Santa Monica for this year’s YALLWEST book festival. There’s no better way to spend a day than to gather with more than 20,000 book-loving teens and some of our favorite authors to celebrate and share our love of books and reading. Especially in a perfect location like sunny California!
If you’re attending the show, we’d love to see you. Stop by our booth to hear what’s new in audio. You’ll have the chance to play Harry Potter audiobook trivia and our bean bag toss to win awesome swag like earbuds, sunglasses, phone-grip accessories, and more!
At 1 p.m. in the Gallery, teens can test their bookish knowledge and compete head-to-head with fellow fans and bestselling authors Ransom Riggs (A Map of Days), Tahereh Mafi (Whichwood), Holly Goldberg Sloan (To Night Owl From Dogfish), and Karen M. McManus (Two Can Keep a Secret) in our “I’ll Take Quidditch for $500: A Fan Game Show!” There are fun categories like “Expecto Patronum,” “May the Force Be With You,” and more, all of which use audio clips from our favorite YA audiobooks. The game show will be hosted by beloved audiobook narrator Jorjeana Marie.
We’ll also be giving away an audiobook sampler of new books by popular YA authors:
