Teachers & librarians! If you teach writing to kids, you should also BE a writer yourself. Take some time to practice this summer with #TeachersWrite, a free, online summer writing camp for teachers & librarians! katemessner.com/announcing-t…

#giveaway I never keep my 1st, final copy of my book. I forward them on to someone special. Someone who inspired it. I’ve decided that this copy should go to a young reader. If you know a kid struggling w/ peers or emotions re: life, comment/RT to enter. Winner @ midnight #kids💙
Signal boosting. We love this book!

“Keeping sad books from children can’t keep sadness from their lives. What books can do is help give kids the knowledge they need to better understand and cope with life’s challenges.” @JoKnowles hits it where your ❤️ is. @nerdybookclub Thank you for this! nerdybookclub.wordpress.com/… – at Cedar Park, TX
Looking forward to reading Jo Knowles’s latest. Her books cut deep, in the best way.
As 13-year-old Rachel’s family struggles financially, Rachel struggles with her own identity, including her feelings about Micah, her BFF. He has feelings beyond friendship for her, but Rachel doesn’t for him or any other boys. Thank you, @JoKnowles, for this important story.
Another brilliant idea from Kate Messner
On today's #MiddleGradeMagic panel with @sljournal, I talked about the power of sharing stories in stacks, so kids who are struggling can choose a book about similar issues - or one that's a total escape. I blogged about that concept for @scholastic here: scholastic.com/bookfairs/rea…
This book sounds so cool
My 2020 novel CHIRP is a mystery set on a cricket farm as well as a #metoo coming-of-age story that celebrates the power of girls, even when their courage is quiet. Teacher/librarian/bookseller/author friends, please DM me a request & address if you'd like an ARC to read & share!
It’s March Madness. Two favorite basketball-loving MGs are THE GREAT WALL OF LUCY WU by @WendyShang and A WHOLE NEW BALLGAME (+2 sequels) by @PhilBildner
