"Any reader who picks up DIVE will be able to see themselves in Kass... I dove into this book and didn't come up for air until the satisfying ending. Make a point of grabbing this middle grade novel for your classroom or the readers in your life."

"As Kass will tell you, you can’t create something beautiful unless you take the leap.

So take a deep breath. Hold your nose if you have to.

And let ‘er rip."

Enjoy @anderson_author's essay for @nerdybookclub about his new novel DIVE.

As DIVE launches today, I’m reminded of how lucky I am to do this for a living. A shout out to @HarperCollins and @WaldenPondPress for their support, and to the bloggers, teachers, librarians, and booksellers who champion my work. And to all my readers, young and old—thank you.

[Walden Pond Press @WaldenPondPress]

From the beloved author of POSTED comes a powerful, poignant, and unexpected coming-of-age story about the rules in life that box us in—and the determination it takes to break out.

🤿 Wishing the happiest #bookbirthday to @anderson_author and DIVE!
