Don’t let the jaunty cover fool! It’s a heartbreaker by CW’s own headgear journey in 7th grade. Prepare to cry: bullies, sibling cruelty, poverty, family dysfunction, + alcoholism mixed but =hope, therapy, and relief. 1 Sitting Read. ⁦@cwymanbooks⁩

@NealShusterman My book arrived!! Lucky me! Diving in!!

Thank you, ⁦@choldenko⁩ , for sharing your writing life with our 7/8th graders! We love Moose and Hank! Thanks for the insight to how you write, edit, revise, market and play! You were terrific! Lucky us!! 📚💞

@teamelliot1 @patspeak @RedRiverMovies @TheSeacoastRep Hi Elliot!! Welcome back to the 603!! Best to you!

Happiness is getting an ARC from a debut author who is your friend!! Congratulations, Miriam! It’s wonderful seeing Abe, Josie, and Zuzu in published format!! 👏📕

Six minutes! Query submission rejection sets world record. The agent responded that he was too busy and wished me luck. Maybe he should edit his submission page to Closed, eh? Gotta have tough skin to query! Onward! #itonlytakesoneyes

@tradingMaxiSL @LonJordan Saving this. Also, using as a writing prompt for my Ss. To write the scene with dialogue, setting and emotional tension. TY!!

@goodreads Flipped by @WendelinVanD ; Outsiders (show every year after 7th graders read); To Kill a Mockingbird (show after 8th graders read).

My first Tui Sutherland book and loving the voice and pace. Late to the game but very happy to be in it!

@Mrsjuliecote Thanks for all your support!!

Santa’s sleigh is lighter thanks to his NH drop off for me. It’s like he knows me. 🎄📚🥳

Got a pass after an R & R on my MG HF but an invite to submit to their Second Chance Inbox. This does feel like the lottery. Onward!

@flyingmonkey13 This week is spirit week but last week was underground spirit week just for Ts- had Ss chuckling, esp Dress Like a S day!! 🙌

Grateful my Books for Breakfast Ss ran to the stacks to get this gem when they heard I had not read it. One S recited from memory the opening FBI letter. 💕📚

@choldenko @amazonbooks @KnopfBFYR Well Deserved!! Such a great book to read and reread out loud to my 8th graders!! Tender hearted story that is so important to share and brilliantly crafted writing on every page. Big fan!

@ahwestergaard @VikingChildrens Beautiful!! Congratulations!!

Layered w/C dev, action & tons of twists. Already shared w/7th/8th Ss. Emotional depth = Ss relate. A beautiful story @ the powerful effects of teamwork, self confidence, & growing up. Add your + embarrassing moment and see how Magic’s is worse. TY ⁦@YamileSMendez⁩

@choldenko @BooksofWonder @erikajkendrick @YamileSMendez @Leeseray Reading Yamile’s The Beautiful Game RN!

Holly is uprooted! Her divorced parents’ summer plans don’t include her,and she’s shipped to an unfamiliar uncle. She is guarded but finds roots saving a tree grove w/ quirky new pals. Love how Lionel helps Holly get grounded. environmentalists unite!! Yay ⁦@Evan_Griffith⁩
