Y'all. Tonight, thanks to @ProjectLITComm, I had the wonderful opportunity to talk to students who actually read GROWN & see the difference the story has made.

Though I've talked to plenty of adults, I haven't had a lot of opportunities to hear what kids thought of my book

[ProjectLITlikeFIRE @li_tlike]

We're reading A Good Kind of Trouble currently! It is such a good book!

The book is so well written that I felt that Quan and Justyce were people who I’d met. I still wonder what Quan and Justyce are doing.” Dear Justyce and Dear Martin are amazing books! Thank you @ProjectLITComm for introducing us!

”The way that Nic Stone writes Dear Justyce had me hooked. I love the way she writes in both first person and 3rd person. This gives the reader so much information and makes the book so interesting to read."

Why: "I loved reading American Street because of how real the characters are. This book really tells the story of what's happening to a lot of teenagers in America today." "American Street is a good book because it shows the struggle of deportation and how that impacts a family"
