![]() ![]() I didn’t know at that time that he had a new book coming out, but as we were chatting, he told me about it and I just knew I wanted to read it (because of how good it sounded, not only because it was Kevin). Well, Kevin Emerson’s EXILE was one of those kinds of books for me.įull disclosure: I was lucky enough to host Kevin for a school visit last year, and was excited to see him again at NCTE in Boston last fall. ![]() ![]() Have you ever read one of those books that just clicks with you? The one where you are so engrossed that by the end you wonder what happened to the last several hours? One of those that when you read the last page and close the book, you think, that is going to be a favorite of the year…and I’m going to booktalk and put into lots of kids’ hands? You’ll have to forgive me I’ve been waiting five months to be able to share this one with all of you, and now that everyone can read it, I’m not sure what to say other than: Teachers of YA readers, please go get this book to hand to your students as soon as you can! I admit…this was supposed to be a new book review, but turned into more of an Ode to EXILE by sharing my reading journey with it in its release week. ![]()
