Spark conversations with the teen in your inner circle with three titles: Ritchie the Cosmonaut 12+ yrs– social identity, appropriate role models, overcoming adversity; Mr. and Mr. P.B. Hollingsworths’ Shoe Shoppe 16+yrs- wants vs. needs, the meaning of true power, faulty legacies; Journey by Foot 18+yrs- the intersectionality of race, class and gender and the impact of history on present day reality. You read. They read. Then you come together. The characters come to life as real life scenarios through you or untold experiences expressed by you. Words move fluidly from tinkered ink on pages to sounds of chatter. It’s all in BOOKS. That’s Connected Fiction at its best.
Enough said. Let’s get connected!
