The other works delve into the complexities of corporate culture, institutional power, and family dynamics.
The young adult section showcases Graci Kim’s Dreamslinger, a fantasy adventure set in Seoul where dreams materialize and dragons take flight. Other standout YA titles include Shampoo Unicorn, a heartfelt story connecting rural queer teens through podcasting, and Kaya Morgan’s Crowning Achievement, which weaves themes of grief and identity into a Renaissance Faire setting.
