I’m in the running for “America’s Favorite Teacher” & could use help. If you have time could you please vote? You get one free vote a day. I’m currently 2nd place in my group but moving to 1st would be better! Thank you so much! americasfavteacher.org/2025/megan-l...

Wow. This book was great company as I recovered from Covid this week. It was impossible to put down and taught me so much. A heartbreaking, yet hopeful book about middle schooler Mo who is living with his father who has schizophrenia. Although his mom isn’t around, Mo realizes there are others 1/2

I’ve been sick for a few days, but today I’m feeling a little better and up for some reading! Diving into The Strongest Heart by Saadia Faruqi! I’ve loved every book I’ve read by Saadia, so I’m extra excited for this read 💜 #BookAllies

I absolutely LOVED this book by Cassidy Wasserman. A book about navigating new friendships, exploring new interests, and navigating the divorce of your parents. I couldn’t put it down! @netgalley.bsky.social

Look out world! Nearly two years ago @mrschureads.bsky.social gifted this sketchbook to Noah for him to jot down his story ideas. Noah has been waiting and waiting for true inspiration to strike and tonight’s the night! He has an idea for a MG NIV and he’s very excited to get started!

Tonight Noah’s reading The Tenth Mistake of Hank Hooperman (SUCH AN AMAZING BOOK!) by @choldenko.bsky.social and I’m reading The Bletchley Riddle (AWESOME so far!) by @rutasepetys.bsky.social and Steve Sheinkin. Glad he’s finally feeling better so we can read side by side 💙

Finished Tear This Down this morning! Loved it so much. A powerful book by @barbaradee.bsky.social about standing up for what you believe in and making change in a positive way. MG kids and beyond will be inspired to learn about their own local “heroes”, spend time in their libraries, and 1/2

This book by Brooke Hartman and Maria Garcia is fantastic! Each page is full of fascinating facts about cute animals and what makes them dangerous. My five year old AND my ten year old both love it and beg for “just one more page!” Definitely preorder! #BookAllies

Ava Lin One of a Kind is a sweet read full of important lessons for kids about kindness, friendship & doing what’s right.

As a parent of a child w/a life-long invisible illness that causes chronic pain… As a teacher… as a human being… this story was heart-wrenching honest, open, depressing, full of love, and full of stoic hope. Sweeney takes full advantage of comics &makes us emotionally involved

Please Pay Attention by Jamie Sumner is a phenomenal and heartbreaking book that every adult and lawmaker needs to read the second it publishes in April. An upper grade NIV that tackles the subject of school shootings in a very honest and thoughtful way. (1/2)

YA NIV about friendship, struggle & the difficult decisions one has to make when their friends make bad choices. A powerful book that’s impossible to put down. Beautiful, thought provoking, heartbreaking. I loved every page of this book by Rex Ogle. Preorder immediately, pubs in March 💜 #BookAllies
