Where Ella Went, an epistolary MG novel, gave much food for thought as you try to piece together what happened to Ella. So many valuable topics for discussion! A must read!

Trump’s billion dollar slush fund is one of the most brazen acts of corruption in modern history.
We cannot normalize this level of self-dealing and greed, and we must make every American aware how he is using OUR tax dollars for his own corrupt schemes.

Remarkably You originally came out in 2019. Today, @QuillTreeBooks releases a new format. Same words by me. Same art by Patrice Barton. No dust jacket and a lower price.
May it help a new group of readers see how they’re remarkable!
Thanks to @pamela_wellsp for filming and @WisBBYearbook for the perfect book toss.

Have you ever been on a hike and felt like the forest was playing a game of hide-and-seek?
Where the Deer Slip Through captures that quiet, breathless magic of spotting wildlife just before it vanishes.

Your main character should get one last shot at accepting the lie. Does it have to happen before the climax?
Nope. Famous last-scene example: hollyschindler.substack.com/…

After reading The Reindeer Remainders, use a hula hoop or taped circle to show “making room”:
1️⃣ Squeeze: small group stands inside the circle
2️⃣ Remainder: one student stands outside
3️⃣ Shift: ask how to make space, then move to include them
