We recently received a copy of your book Sellout in a book order. After reading the blurb on the back I decided it would be the next book I read and reviewed. To be perfectly honest I thought it would be a typical young adult novel that I would read and review. I was so wrong. I've seen so many young people struggle to fit in and go through situations similar to NaTasha. It broke my heart, in a good way, to read about NaTasha and the girls she meets at Amber's Place. Thank you so much for an excellent book. I intend to buy more copies and "push" it to all the students here at Southwest High School. I've posted on my book review blog, tweeted about it, and am now going to go and recommend this book to the staff at my school as well as the librarians that subscribe to Calib, the California School Library Association's listserve. Thank you again for such an excellent book. I look forward to reading more of your work -David B. El Centro, CA
