Chandra Prasad’s first young adult novel, DAMSELFFY, was published by Scholastic in 2018. School Library Journal says, “Prasad’s [YA] debut is a compelling modern-day adventure,” while Booklist hails it “a compulsive read.” Damselfly is currently being implemented in middle school and high school curricula across the country as a modern “parallel read” with Lord of the Flies. Prasad is the originator and editor of, and a contributor to, Mixed: An Anthology of Short Fiction on the Multiracial Experience, which was published to international raves by W.W. Norton.
