Little Ray\, as she is called\, finishes nowhere near the podium\, but she manages to get pregnant. Back home\, in New England\, Little Ray becomes a ski instructor. Her son\, Adam\, grows up in a family that defies conventions and evades questions concerning the eventful past. Years later\, looking for answers\, Adam will go to Aspen. In the Hotel Jerome\, where he was conceived\, Adam will meet some ghosts; in The Last Chairlift\, they aren’t the first or the last ghosts he sees.\n\n\n \n\nJASON REYNOLDS is a #1 New York Times bestselling author\, a Newbery Award Honoree\, a Printz Award Honoree\, a two-time National Book Award finalist\, a Kirkus Award winner\, a Carnegie Medal winner\, a two-time Walter Dean Myers Award winner\, an NAACP Image Award Winner\, and the recipient of multiple Coretta Scott King honors.

You can find his ramblings at JasonWritesBooks.com \nPrepare yourself for something unlike anything: A smash-up of art and text for teens that viscerally captures what it is to be Black. In America. Right Now…Ain’t Burned All the Bright   Jason Reynolds and his best bud\, Jason Griffin\, had a mind-meld. And they decided to tackle it\, in one fell swoop\, in about ten sentences\, and 300 pages of art\, this piece\, this contemplation-manifesto-fierce-vulnerable-gorgeous-terrifying-WhatIsWrongWithHumans-hope-filled-hopeful-searing-Eye-Poppingly-Illustrated-tender-heartbreaking-how-The-HECK-did-They-Come-UP-with-This project about oxygen. And all of the symbolism attached to that word\, especially NOW. And so for anyone who didn’t really know what it means to not be able to breathe\, REALLY breathe\, for generations\, now you know. And those who already do\, you’ll be nodding yep yep\, that is exactly how it is.\n\n  \nWHAT IS AUTHORFEST?\nEach season Simon & Schuster partners with book festivals nationwide to present insightful panel discussions between celebrated authors.\n\nWHO IS FEATURED?\nThe Fall 2022 AuthorFest Event will feature New York Times bestselling authors John Irving and Jason Reynolds.
