ST. PAUL, Minn. — The St. Paul Public Library has chosen Kekla Magoon's "How It Went Down" as its 2015 Read Brave book.
Read Brave is the library's annual citywide program encouraging young people and adults to read a young adult novel and discuss it.

Magoon, the author, will visit St. Paul on Feb. 25 and 26.
Read Brave previously featured the novels "Everybody Sees the Ants" by A.S. King in 2013 and "Eleanor and Park" by Rainbow Rowell in 2014.
