Announcing One Book, One Philadelphia 2024 Selection: True Biz by Sara Nović

PHILADELPHIA, This announcement marks the 22nd year of the program.

True Biz is a story of communication across radically different experiences. It involves three characters at the River Valley School for the Deaf. Charlie is a new transfer student. Austin is the school’s golden boy. February is the school's Headmistress and a child of deaf adults. Together, they try to find their footing during a new school year, navigating major life changes and an impending threat to their school that may change them forever. 

“Reading is fundamental,” said Mayor Cherelle L. Parker, “I cannot thank the Free Library of Philadelphia enough for their dedication to providing spaces for our communities to improve literacy and create civic dialogue across our City. The One Book, One Philadelphia program is a great way to unify our City and inspire a love of reading for youth and adults.”
