Join Porter Square Books to celebrate the 10 years since the release of Ally Condie's dystopian classic Matched, now available in deluxe gold edition! Ally will be joined in conversation by Shannon Hale. This event is free and open to all, and is hosted on Crowdcast.

Celebrate the 10th anniversary of Ally Condie’s modern dystopian classic with this deluxe gold edition featuring an extensive retrospective Q&A with Ally Condie and Soman Chainani, bestselling author of the School for Good and Evil series, a bonus story, “Green Girl in a Green Dress,” and a discussion guide. The gold edition also includes the first official map of the Matched trilogy world, created with a professional cartographer and based on Ally Condie’s own drawings.

In the Society, Officials decide. Who you love. Where you work. When you die. Cassia has always trusted the Society’s choices. And when her best friend appears on the Matching screen, she is certain he’s the one—until she sees another face flash for an instant before the screen fades to black. Now she is faced with impossible choices: between Xander and Ky, between the only life she’s ever known and a path no one has dared to follow. Between perfection and the truth.

Ally Condie is the author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Matched trilogy and co-author of the Darkdeep middle grade series. She is also the author of the novel Summerlost, an Edgar Award finalist. A former English teacher, Ally lives with her family outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. She has an MFA from the Vermont College of Fine Arts, and is the founder and director of the nonprofit WriteOut Foundation.

Shannon Hale is the New York Times bestselling author of over thirty books, including fantasy novels The Goose Girl and Book of a Thousand Days, science fiction novel Dangerous, Newbery Honor winner Princess Academy, graphic novel memoirs Real Friends and Best Friends (with LeUyen Pham), and romantic comedy Austenland (now a major motion picture starring Keri Russell). She lives in Utah with her husband and frequent collaborator Dean Hale, their four remarkable children, and two ridiculous cats named Misty Knight and Mike Hat.
