Kate Hattemer's debut novel The Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy, set for UK release May 22 2014, is set to propel her to the forefront of intelligent, witty young adult fiction alongside the likes of John Green, Rainbow Rowell and E.
Lockhart. Hattemer, a former Yale classics student and now a bookseller, has come up with an inventive story about a group of teenagers who, inspired by poet Ezra Pound, hatch a plot to take down a reality TV show, For Art's Sake, which is being filmed at their school. Combining questions about the nature of art and culture with an overarching plot about friendship, The Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy is sure to be a huge hit with teens and adults alike.
