#TheBeautifulSomethingElse

MY SECOND BLURB!!

'An action-filled twist on vampires that celebrates empathy, compassion and seeing the world through the eyes of someone much different from you. Blood, gore and a whole lot of heart!' - @AshVanOtterloo

Thank you so much Alder for your support and kind words!

Check this out @AshVanOtterloo !!! This is An Unlikely Story

Cattywampus, by @AshVanOtterloo is a delightful read full of kid-friendly chills and naturally queer characters, set in the mountains of Appalachia.

I kept on imagining all the voices of Old Gods of Appalachia in my head as I read it, and I can't wait to check out more of Ash's work

Really enjoying this @AshVanOtterloo . The cat and I are sharing a heating pad.

Happy Book Birthday to the AMAZING @AshVanOtterloo ! The Beautiful Something Else is a special middle grade book with a non-binary neurodivergent kid that really mixes together questioning queer identity & dealing with the effects of parental neglect/addiction. Go buy a copy rn!!

Some books contain multitudes & #TheBeautifulSomethingElse is one of them. It's about addiction & generational trauma, found families & the pressure to conform. But it's also about the everyday middle school realities of navigating friendships, crushes & homework @AshVanOtterloo

I've been thinking about it a lot, and I really think THE BEAUTIFUL SOMETHING ELSE by @AshVanOtterloo would be a *great* book to teach in middle school (probably 7th or 8th grade), and if you want me to talk about what assignments could grow out of it, I'M HAPPY TO DISCUSS.

Sparrow’s story is a heartbreaker and a heartbuilder…and your heart will be stolen when you read the story of Sparrow’s becoming..so many exceptional things. 🥰💫❤️‍🩹 Go on Sparrow’s journey; read THE BEAUTIFUL SOMETHING ELSE! ☺️📚💜 @AshVanOtterloo Scholastic #BookPosse

Look @AshVanOtterloo !!! BTW Gabrielle has great taste! Clearly. An Unlikely Story

Thanks @AshVanOtterloo !!! Check this out @LitReviewCrew ! Who's up after me??
