Jezelle: Thief of Forks
By Scott Austin Tirrell, director of administration and finance in the Art, Technology, and Culture Program
Self-published · 2026
Abandoned by her father and raised by the streets of Grafton Notch, Jezelle survives by trusting no one. When a strange magic awakens within her, it offers more than escape, it offers power. But in a city that preys on broken children, power makes her valuable, dangerous, and hunted. To claim the life stolen from her, Jezelle must decide what she is willing to become.
From Summer 2026 recommended reading from MIT (MIT News).
