Paper Things (a giveaway)

With all the  adventure and emotion of her award-winning novel Small as an Elephant, Jennifer Jacobson’s Paper Things presents the story of 11-year-old Ari. When  forced to choose between staying with her guardian and being with her big brother, Ari chooses her big brother. There’s just one problem—Gage doesn’t actually have a place to live.  This is the  heartrending story of a homeless kid hiding in plain sight — and the people who help her out along the way.

Jennifer says, “This story allowed me to think deeply about the kids I worry about – those without a foundation of support or those who, for one reason or another, lose it. There are so many children with potential, and yet they fall through the cracks.”

A writer, teacher, educational consultant and speaker, her  Small as an Elephant won both the Maine Lupine Award for Young Adults and a Parents’ Choice Gold Award. Jennifer lives in Cumberland, Maine. For more information about her, or to schedule her for a visit to your school or library, visit http://www.jenniferjacobson.com.

    I can’t wait to read this book. I had to click on your blog bc of the name! In fifth grade, our teacher read this book to us and it’s always been a favorite. She read that book and Sounder, another of my all time favorite books. Sadly that was the only time a teacher ever read in a class I attended.
