  • Solid State Books 600 H Street Northeast Washington, DC, 20002 United States (map)

Join us to hear Charlene Thomas discuss her debut novel Seton Girls in conversation with Brianna Peppins. This is a VIRTUAL EVENT. Admission is free. Please RSVP here to access the link.

A smart and twisty debut YA that starts off like Friday Night Lights and ends with the power and insight of Dear White People.

Seton Academic High is a prep school obsessed with its football team and their thirteen-year conference win streak, a record that players always say they’d never have without Seton’s girls. What exactly Seton girls do to make them so valuable, though, no one ever really says. They're just "the best." But the team’s quarterback, the younger brother of the Seton star who started the streak, wants more than regular season glory. He wants a state championship before his successor, Seton’s first Black QB, has a chance to overshadow him. Bigger rewards require bigger risks, and soon the actual secrets to the team's enduring success leak to a small group of girls who suddenly have the power to change their world forever.
