@libraryofquirky I personally loved this book as well. Hopefully the students in that library will have their interest peeked by the damaged pages and find a way to read the entire book.

Jason Reynolds' thoughts on the current book bans speaks volumes,"As adults we want children to be better than we are, and in order to do so, they must have the information that we did not have. So to stop that information, really makes us all hypocrites." #FReadom
Books with queer content aren't inappropriate or pornographic. They're books. Books belong in classroom and school libraries. If a parent does not want his/her/their child to read a book, fine. But that parent has no right -- no right -- to say other kids cannot read those books.

Be sure to write your lesson objectives on a piece of paper and tape them to the board. This way, should the school’s fire alarm go off, you’ll be able to take them with you in case it’s not a drill. .

Growing up, I wasn’t assigned a book written by a living author until I was a junior in high school. That’s a problem. Kids — ALL kids — need to see themselves reflected in the characters of the books they read, and in the creators of those books too.

Things I know about my next MG novel...
Its structure is similar to BREAKOUT, with more verse.
My MC's dad was a combat veteran.
She's an unreliable narrator.
She gets in trouble and as restitution, ends up climbing mountains with a dog she doesn't like. (It's complicated.)
