Episode 19: Nick Brooks

from How I Library Hosted by American Library Association

In episode 19, Phil Morehart from the American Library Association speaks with Nick Brooks. Brooks is the critically acclaimed author of the award-winning young adult (Y.A.) thriller, "Promise Boys,” a filmmaker, and a musician from Washington, D.C. His new book, "Up In Smoke," is another page-turning, Y.A. thriller that follows the events that spiral after a murder is committed during a Black Lives Matter protest. It’s part murder mystery, part call to revolution. Brooks joins the show to talk about "Up In Smoke" and its influences, his writing career, empowering today's youth, and of course, how he libraries.
