A 🌟 starred 🌟 review of OUT OF SALEM from Publishers Weekly: Hal Schrieve "stuns with [hir debut], where the authorities control magic and the monsters are emphatically not the LGBTQ zombie and werewolf protagonists... [Xie] conjures intricate magic vital to the plot, pushes the book’s leads to grow amid the book’s ratcheting tension, and provides incisive social commentary via monster-tale tropes. Any reader who has felt it necessary to hide their true identity will find strong characters to connect with in this fun, powerful story."
Debut author Schrieve stuns with this tale set in a 1997 Salem, Ore., where the authorities control magic and the monsters are emphatically not the LGBTQ zombie and werewolf protagonists. Z, 14, had j
Innosanto Nagara in the Guardian US: “Our choice around who we portray and who becomes the face of a story is how we can help people either be uplifted or erased. In children’s books in particular that’s true."
Children’s literature is seeing a ‘seismic shift’ in diversity as authors say they want to make sure children of color see themselves represented
Hal Schrieve author of OUT OF SALEM, talks with Kirkus Reviews about YA fiction, zombies, representing teen agency, and the importance of queer friendships.
“Classic zombie apocalypse stories....are usually a distilled version of our own fear of our bodies’ aging/mortality/vulnerability to illness. But all of us are sick, disabled, or dying at some point, and people who experience this are not monsters.”
Kirkus Reviews talks to Hal Schrieve about their new YA novel, Out of Salem.
"With bravura and hard-won insight, these poems explore identity, survival and home from first- and second-generation perspectives, offering a multiplicity of impressions and memories."

A true story of peace, the power of art, and the great singer and activist Paul Robeson told by his granddaughter.
"Daddy always said it takes a man of peace to stop a war."
Based on the true story of Paul Robeson's visit to the front lines of the Spanish Civil War, comes this recollection of his bravery and activism by his granddaughter, Susan Robeson, with her debut book. When Susan was a child her father and grandfather told her family stories over and over. Grandpa Paul was a great man, a singer with a deep and rumbling voice, a man of peace and principle who worried about the safety of the children and families living in countries at war. His songs were always full of emotion, and evoking the African-American spirituals of his own father's childhood, he was able to communicate even with people who didn't speak the same language. Though it was dangerous, Robeson went to Spain and traveled to the front lines of the war (in a Buick!). There, he asked the soldiers to set up speakers facing the fighters on both sides of the battlefield. And then he sang....
With gorgeous illustrations from the fine artist Rod Brown, When Grandpa Stops A War celebrates the activism and achievements of the great Paul Robeson, and shows readers the power of art in times of discord and war.
