It wasn’t until I connected with In This Together Media that I found my students’ stories were genuinely valued. The featured authors and protagonists are real; they’re gay, female, and low-income. They speak Spanish. They’re non-white.
Giving everyone a story
∞
The greatest joy when reading a book or watching a movie is that you can imagine yourself in the story. Unfortunately in today’s media, not everyone is represented. We are committed to changing that. We want all kids, teens, young adults — everyone to see themselves in their favorite stories.
AS SEEN IN
In This Together Media aims to offer stories with more diverse and realistic representation of kids, especially girls.
It is marvelous historical fiction and there was not a moment I felt embarrassed to be reading it–to the contrary! This book is ‘good’ YA lit, and a page-turner for anyone who loves Jane Eyre or just a darn good mystery.

I love this book as an adult but as a teenager I would have been obsessed. Rebekah Crane captures perfectly and poignantly the thousands of feelings, thoughts, dreams and desires of that wonderful creature called a teenager.
