Facebook and
Twitter, and of course the

Young Adult genre rock star author James Dashner, creator of the wildly
popular Maze Runner series, will be the headliner of the Texas Teen Book
Festival Oct. 18 at St. Edward’s University.
Dashner’s latest
novel is
The Eye of Minds, a novel set in a world of
hyper-advanced technology, cyberterrorists, and gaming. He is also

“We couldn't be more
excited to announce James Dashner as our headlining author,” says
Heather Schubert, librarian and founder, along with BookPeople, of what
was originally called the Austin Teen Book Festival. “And we are so
excited about
The Maze Runner movie release in September. This year's
festival is going to be the most interactive and wild yet, and we have
an amazing list of all-star YA authors to prove it!” Schubert says.
