Get a character in Ismée Williams’s next book named after YOU!

Ismée Williams is the YA author of the critically acclaimed Water In May and the recently released This Train Is Being Held, a modern retelling of West Side Story where both lovers are Latinx. Alex is a baseball player. A great one. His papi wants him to go pro but Alex maybe wants to be a poet. Not that Papi would understand or ever allow it. Isa is a dancer. She’d love to go pro except her Havana-born mom is dead set against it...just like she’s dead set against her daughter falling for a Latino. And Isa’s privileged private school life-with her dad losing his job and her older brother struggling with mental illness-is falling apart. Not that she’d ever tell Alex. Fate–and the New York City subway–bring Alex and Isa together. Is it enough to keep them together when they need each other most?
