We've exchanged that information via SMS. I have yet to read it but really looking forward to it. Will probably pair with Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds (which I also have in my ARCs waiting to be read).GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-49140265920034488922018-02-12T19:50:18.032-07:002018-02-12T19:50:18.032-07:00Oh, I imagine she will love Wide Awake Bear.

I feel a kinship with Angie Thomas because she is from my home town of Jackson, MS. and went to a local college there. She has been overwhelmed by the response, like an overnight sensation. I agree about the importance of the book, but I will not be sharing it with my students. I think it is more suited to high school students who can better process the tough events and rough language. <br />I envy you having Peter Reynolds' new book. My collection of his books is growing. I haven't added this one yet, but will.
