Award winning author Chris Crutcher will be the keynote speaker for the fourth annual Greater Houston Teen Book Convention. Coretta Scott King award-winning author Sharon Draper will be the closing speaker. Along with Crutcher and Draper, teens can interact with nearly 40 authors and artists of teen books and graphic novels from all over the country through author panels, signings and activities.

Before the convention, teens can enter a book trailer video contest or a contest where would-be graphic novelists compete to eat lunch with the published graphic novelists and artists attending.
