I am so honored that That Night was included in this important article about teen fiction focusing on heroin overdose deaths and how the survivors handle their loss on the School Library Journal website:

Other featured YA books were The Unlikelies, When I Cast Your Shadow, Dreaming of Antigone, and The Butterfly Clues.

If you love realistic YA, take a moment and click over to read about each story.

Thank you again to School Library Journal and Teen Librarian Toolbox for including Kayla, Sarah, Cassidy, and Paul's story.

I woke up to an incredibly insightful and provocative review of That Night by librarian Sabrina Carnesi, who is also on the In the Margins national book committee, which longlisted That Night earlier this year.

Ms. Carnesi gets all the gritty details of the problems going on that lead to Kayla's death, and how the adults and society in general are missing these issues in real life - which is what led me to write this heartbreaking story.

Thank you so much to Sabrina and the ITM committee for bringing That Night to the attention of readers, teachers, parents, and librarians!
