The Concord Free Public Library is excited to announce a special author visit with e. E. Charlton-Trujillo on Tuesday, May 14 at 7:00 p.m. Students in grades 7 and up and adults are welcome to attend. This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library. The Concord Bookshop will be selling a selection of her titles.
Mexican American writer, filmmaker and Texas native, e.E. Charlton-Trujillo is the Stonewall Award-Winning author of Fat Angie and other books for teens and children. Kirkus Reviews celebrated her as a “force of nature” for her activism with youth as seen in the documentary At-Risk Summer, a film that chronicles her unorthodox book tour across America to empower youth on the fringe via writing and raw discussion. She is the co-founder of the non-profit, Never Counted Out, which empowers at-risk youth via free book donations and artists mentorship. Her highly anticipated novel Fat Angie: Rebel Girl Revolution released March 5, 2019.
