I love that the Dedham Public Library has a new Zoom Middle Grade Book Club for grades 5-8, & that their June pick is After Zero! They'll "meet" on 6/16; invite all the middle schoolers you know!

(Fun fact: My first real job after college was in Dedham)https://t.co/Y27WgcWrHq

After Zero got its first celebrity review! I am honored! And a bit starstruck, to be honest; I watched Father of the Bride many times growing up! □ @SourcebooksKids @Sourcebooks @LindsayLit https://t.co/bTGG0PXgo9

This just in! School Library Connection says of #AfterZero: "...a thoughtful book that sheds light on a little known anxiety disorder...
