It was not an easy topic to write about.<br /><br />Might I please trouble you to ask that the spelling of my last name be corrected? No worries, but just in case a student wants to find any of my other books don't want them to be confused.

I can already imagine all of the cross-curricular integration that can be done with the text -- media literacy, art history, online safety, just to name a few!<br /><br />I truly believe that this book will be an asset for school libraries everywhere!
