About
Adventure awaits the young protagonists in Cheryl Isaacs’ debut novel The Unfinished and Efua Traore’s Children of the Quicksands and Sister Spirit. These mysterious tales chart their own paths in the horror and young adult genres, intersecting through their exploration of ancestral cultures, the supernatural and the discovery of one’s identity. Fans of these genres won’t want to miss this thought-provoking discussion.
Moderator: Janet Smyth

Cheryl Isaacs can often be found running through the Carolinian forests of Southwestern Ontario, where she has fearlessly enjoyed the trails for years. Her Kanien’kéha culture often appears in her writing. The Unfinished is her debut novel, though her work has appeared in numerous Indigenous publications.
