When her first grade teacher asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, the answer was simple: an author. Growing up the daughter of Thai immigrants in Kansas, Dunn always knew she wanted to write. “The book really combines all the things I’m interested in: time travel, big epic sacrifice, end of the world stuff,” Dunn says. Those questions inspired Pintip Dunn’s new YA novel, Malice, about a teen receiving messages from the future in order to help her prevent a devastating pandemic. What if that one person was an innocent? Or your friend? Or your child? And could you even be sure that killing one person would change anything? If you could go back in time and kill baby Hitler, would you? On its face, the answer seems obvious-of course it’s worth killing one person to save millions-but the more you think about the question, the more complicated it gets. ![]()
