If you’re looking for a way to talk to your kid (of any gender) about consent and unwanted attention, I wrote a whole book that might be a good starting place. #mglit #consent #flipturns #metoo northstareditions.com/jolly-fish-p...

To snatch a five year old carrying a school bag from the street and tell the parents nothing as you send that child to a prison thousands of kilometres away is unalloyed evil. Every person in this chain of command should be prosecuted. Every single one. They have to be.

“The struggles Joey battles make JOEY THE GOOD an authentic, riveting, and heartfelt read!” — @arguellescath.bsky.social , author of FLIP TURNS and FIRST TO FIND JOEY THE GOOD by Erin Fry is available now! ⛰️ northstareditions.com/jolly-fish-p...

“The struggles Joey battles make Joey the Good an authentic, riveting, and heartfelt read! Erin Fry takes Joey and the reader on an exciting and tumultuous journey, laying out every step in such a compelling path I couldn’t help but root for Joey through his triumphs and even his missteps. I loved the descriptions of each hike he takes with his cousin and each hurdle he overcomes with himself. Readers will empathize with Joey as he learns persistence at climbing mountains, forgiving himself, and developing relationships with new friends as well as long-loved family members. Joey the Good will draw in readers with its heartwarming story and heart-racing twists!” —Catherine Arguelles, author of Flip Turns and First to Find
