Penguin Random House decided to shut down Dial Books for Young Readers and fire my editor, who shepharded "Too Bright To See" and "I'm Sorry You Got Mad" into the world. Devastated and gutted isn't half of what I'm feeling.

We love to see this: The Long Beach Public Library is offering digital library cards so readers can access banned books to help offset censorship! lbpost.com/news/educati...

Long Beach will open up its e-book library so teens from other states can read banned books

It's part of a nationwide push to let young people access reading material that may have been thrown out of their local libraries and schools.
