# 2023 National Book Festival: Time Travel, Supervillains & Other Everyday Things: Jamar Nicholas & Nisi Shawl

What happens when magic becomes your everyday? Set in a world where superheroes and ordinary people coexist, Jamar Nicholas' graphic novel "Leon the Extraordinary" follows superpower-less Leon's mission to save his fifth grade class from an app that turns them into zombies. In Nisi Shawl's "Speculation," 10-year-old Winna embarks on a quest to break a family curse using wish-granting spectacles. Moderated by Megan Halsband.
