"THIS BOOK IS SO IMPORTANT! Bullying is one of those things I think almost all of us can agree needs to stop. OBaaT is something every school needs - every person needs. This is definitely a book I will be keeping on my shelf for my nieces, nephews, and littles of my own."

Your reminder that 29.3% of all revenue from indie bookshops immediately recirculates in the local economy 😊

That's 4x more than Amazon.

When you buy audiobooks through Libro.fm, you're supporting not only your indie, but your local economy.

"As a librarian, I often struggle to find books for teens that explore family situations differently than a nuclear family or a single parent. The main protagonist is a foster child. That dynamic is explored as well as her friends' family situations, but the book's main focus is bullying."

Bullying is the weapon of the insecure, aimed at the different, the brave, and the kind. Stand firm. Not in silence, but in strength, because your light threatens only those still lost in the dark.

"Everyone should read this book. Even if you have never been the victim of interpersonal violence, or a crime involving sex, you need this glimpse into how the system works. You will never skim over the judge-and-attorney section of your ballot again."

Support your local library and favorite authors.

If your library doesn't already have a title, more times than not the librarians will be able to place an order for a brand new copy!

Hey, I know books are expensive and money is tight right now.

But if there's a brand new book you really wanna read — including my own Lessons in Magic and Disaster — you can help get the book into way more hands by requesting it from your local library!

It's easy! Check your library's website.

We cannot relegate 9/11 to a one-dimensional and incomplete historical narrative that neglects the long-term effects of decisions taken after that day, write Ameena Ghaffar-Kucher and Deepa Iyar.
