About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Dymocks Knox City is thrilled to bring acclaimed novelist Ann Liang to the Knox Library for an evening of conversation and book-signing to celebrate the release of her new YA novel, I Am Not Jessica Chen.


From the bestselling, and award-winning author of If You Could See The Sun comes a new page-turning speculative YA about a girl who wishes she could be as perfect and successful as her cousin... then wakes up the next morning in her cousin's body.

After getting rejected by every single Ivy League she applied to and falling short of all her Asian immigrant parents' expectations, seventeen-year-old Jenna Chen makes a wish to become her smarter, infinitely more successful Harvard-bound cousin, Jessica Chen -- only for her wish to come true.

Literally.

Now trapped inside Jessica's body, with access to Jessica's most private journals and secrets, Jenna soon discovers that being the top student at the elite, highly competitive Havenwood Private Academy isn't quite what she imagined. Worse, as everyone -- including her own parents -- start having trouble remembering who Jenna Chen is, or if she ever even existed, Jenna must decide if playing the role of the perfect daughter and student is worth losing her true self forever.


We can't wait for what promises to be an amazing evening! Come join us at the Knox Library to meet Ann and get your books personally signed on the night!
