When I was teaching, I had a lot of students who said things
like, “I hate reading” or “I haven’t read anything since Goosebumps in third grade.” (I taught high school English classes,
so presumably anyone who had managed to get into Honors American Literature
should have read something since Goosebumps.)
As a result I always prided myself on finding just the right
book that changed their minds. Which means I know first hand how important it
is for librarians and teachers to have books—and how much money it can cost
(sometimes out of your own pocket) in order to maintain that.
So I’m giving away
100 FREE copies of Unraveling to
teachers, librarians, or coordinators or programs that promote literacy.
Enclosed with the book will be a hard copy of the discussion
guide, and I’ll be happy to personalize the book for anyone who wants it
personalized. (Signed books and anything by Jodi Picoult were the most commonly
stolen books from my classroom library, so I won’t take offense if you don’t
want my signature.)
If you’re a teacher,
librarian, or coordinator of a program that advocates literacy, and you’d like
a free copy of Unraveling, fill out this
form. If you aren’t, but you know someone who is, please pass along the
information!
This is first come, first serve until those 100 books are
gone. But I will ship anywhere in the US. (Sorry everyone not in the US—as I’m
paying for the shipping myself, I’ve got to stay in my own budget).

Wow, how awesome of you! What a great way to help get kids reading!
This is really AMAZING of you. :) Not to many authors just donate and ship 100 copies to librarians and etc... Thanks so much. Me myself working in a after school program I do not see this very often, and it touches my heart to see authors doing nice things like this! :)
You're welcome!
