World Book Day (AKA the biggest event of the bookish calendar) is swiftly approaching and we here at MP! couldn’t be more excited to officially reveal the line up for this year’s Teenfest. On the 2nd and 3rd of March, kicking off at 6pm both nights, you’ll be able to log onto Twitter and/or Facebook (your choice!) to chat to some of YA’s hottest authors, including Sarah Crossan, Ally Carter and Sally Green.

Okay, you’re free to explode now.
