The game is on in this fun-filled middle grade novel, all about chess, girl power, and performance anxiety in sports! Alongside socially relevant themes of gender, culture, and self-doubt, this book is perfect for 7-9ers who are discovering their love for chess, and for anyone else who has ever lost their love for a pursuit. Whether you play (or... understand) chess or not, join Kyla Zhao and Paige Parker in discussing this book and their journey in finding themselves.
Kyla will also be touching on topics like:
Female participation and empowerment in STEM
Competition and the pressure to succeed
Asian representation in the media
The rise of chess - especially in Asia
Being a published author (and how she balances that with her full-time tech job!)
This event is in collaboration with the World Chess Championship.
