Praise:
...amazing, honest, pure, true. I am and always will be saddened by Amanda's story, but Jenna's Truth gives us an alternate version filled with hope.
—KEVIN HINES - Suicide survivor, activist, storyteller, filmmaker
Thank you for writing this novella. And for remembering Amanda. I love the resources and teaching guide you included at the end. As an educator myself, I found the guide with questions so helpful...I like how Jenna had hope and that you portrayed a teacher who cared and encouraged talking.
—CAROL TODD - Amanda Todd Legacy Society, Educator
I meant to email last week to say that at last your wonderful book was next in line on my books to read pile. And I read it in one sitting! I was so impressed by how you tackled such a challenging subject. Congratulations Nadia, it's a powerful little novella.
—DIANNE WOLFER - Australian award-winning children's author
Inspired by the real-life story of the late Canadian teenager Amanda Todd, this story puts a human face on cyberbullying...A deeply affecting, valuable story and educational tool.
