Excellent book for those that need to know that they are not alone!
Sounds as though you liked some of these pieces more than others. Which do you think worked best? I’m getting this for my nephew. He’s a “reluctant” reader.
Some did work more for me than others. I’ll email you a list of my favorites sometime this weekend.
Wow, this sounds like such an important book to let people know what teens struggle with when they don’t necessarily fit into the norm that society places on them. Obviously it would be great for teens as well to let them know they arent alone. I’d really like to read this. I think our world woluld be a much better place if people just accepted others for who they are and not what they want them to be.
I agree, Dar. I really like the message this book sends to them…that they are not alone.
Sounds like a useful and important book!
I would think so, so long as more people spread the word about it.
I’m going to check this one out. I read Emma Eden’s book after your review and loved it (except for one poem). The Triptych part was incredible. Is her fiction that good? I’m curious to see.
The excerpt from When A Bully Apologizes is intense. Very nice writing. I will give this one a read.
I really loved her fiction piece in this collection, Lynn. I think you should give it a try. Some of these are better than others, but I think the message is important.
This sounds wonderful. The issue of bullying is something that I think we can all pay more attention to. My son was a student ambassador for his school and had to take a lot of training on how to deal with bullying and the effect that it has on the victim and what to do to diffuse a bully. I was unsure if I wanted him to be put in such a position, but in the end, he learned a lot from it. I wonder if he would enjoy a collection like this one. He is the non-reader.
I dunno, but the money goes to a good cause even if he doesn’t read it…or read it all the way through.
This sounds like an important book. I like that the collection contains different formats of stories.
I do like that there were different formats included.
