The story is set in a world where love is deemed illegal and can be <br />eradicated with a special procedure. With 95 days to go until her scheduled treatment, the <br />tale’s heroine does the unthinkable: she falls in love. The television rights to the trilogy have <br />been purchased for development as a Fox series starring Emma Roberts. <br /> <br />“Delirium” was named a top book of the year by NPR, USA Today, Amazon, Kirkus Reviews, <br />Barnes & Noble, and Publishers Weekly. Oliver’s debut novel, “Before I Fall,” was named to <br />NPR’s Best Books of 2010 and Amazon’s list of Top 10 Young Adult Books of 2010. In addition <br />to writing, Oliver is co-founder of the literary incubator Paper Lantern Lit. <br /> <br />Oliver will be joined in Eugene by young adult authors Debra Driza (“Mila 2.0”), Claudia Gray <br />(“Spellcaster”), Dan Wells (“Fragments”), and Kiersten White (“Mind Games”), who are traveling together as the <br />HarperCollins “Dark Days Tour.” The writers will discuss their works, share tricks of the trade, and offer advice on getting <br />published at a young age.
