We'll have Cylin Busby talking about Flowers in the Attic, Carolyn Kellogg discussing Girl Power: The Nineties Revolution in Music, Liza Palmer presenting Hope for the Flowers, Antoine Wilson covering A Spell for Chameleon, and the evening's host Cecil Castellucci talking about Tintin.  Which will be rants and which will be raves?  You'll have to come to find out!
