Good afternoon everyone,
 
I was hoping you could help me with some recommendations for local YA authors who might be willing to participate in a Literary Lock In we are sponsoring at our high school next June. Here's what we are specifically looking for:
 
  1. An author who lives in CT, RI or even southeast MA.
  2. The author should have written several YA level books
  3. Would prefer if the Author's books appeal to students of a variety of backgrounds and interests
  4. Bonus points if the books have been translated into multiple languages
  5. Extra bonus points if the books are available in multiple formats like graphic novels or audiobooks.
I thank you in advance for any suggestions you might have.
