Book Trailer

From the beloved author of Hidden Truths comes a novel about take-charge sixth grader Bess Stein, who brings together friends and a group of rockstar librarians called the Book Warriors to fight a book ban happening at her middle school.

Praise:

“As I read Same Page, I said to myself multiple times: “I wish I were Bess’s librarian. I’m proud of her for standing up for the rights of readers. I’m grateful she cares so deeply and passionately about story and advocates for libraries, librarians, and readers. Thank you for being a Book Warrior, Bess!”

–John Schu, teacher-librarian and New York Times best-selling author of Louder Than Hunger

Colby Sharp calls Same Page, “Phenomenal!” and “A must read.” See the review.

-Colby Sharp

“A timely and powerfully emotive story that is a perfect read for a budding reformer or activist.”

-Booklist
