They post their work-poems, essays, videos of Chelsea performing her poetry, and Jasmine's response to the racial microaggressions she experiences-and soon they go viral. But with such positive support, the club is also targeted by trolls. When things escalate in real life, the principal shuts the club down. Not willing to be silenced, Jasmine and Chelsea will risk everything for their voices-and those of other young women-to be heard.\u003cbr\u003e These two dynamic, creative young women stand up and speak out in a novel that features their compelling art and poetry along with powerful personal journeys that will inspire readers and budding poets, feminists, and activists. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAcclaim for \u003ci\u003ePiecing Me Together\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNewbery Honor Book\u003cbr\u003eCoretta Scott King Author Award\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e Book Prize, Young Adult Finalist\u003cbr\u003e \"Timely and timeless.\" -Jacqueline Woodson, award-winning author of \u003ci\u003eBrown Girl Dreaming\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Watson, with rhythm and style, somehow gets at . . . the life-changing power of voice and opportunity.\" -Jason Reynolds, NYT-bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eLong Way Down\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Brilliant.\" -John Green, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times \u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThe Fault in Our Stars\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e * \"Teeming with compassion and insight.\" -\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review\u003cbr\u003e * \"A timely, nuanced, and unforgettable story about the power of art, community, and friendship.\" -\u003ci\u003eKirkus\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review\u003cbr\u003e * \"A nuanced meditation on race, privilege, and intersectionality.\" -\u003ci\u003eSLJ\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50425405735135,"sku":"9781547603114","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/S0vZg96njF9781547603114.webp?v=1782161599"}],"url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/collections\/ellen-hagan.oembed","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
