I love books that remind me exactly what it felt like to be a teenager. And books where guys and girls have relationships that aren’t about the luuuurve. And books that have so much real-life drama that they don’t need magic and vampires and the end of the world (although I love those too). Most of all, I love books that are sweet and funny and then kick you in the gut with totally poignant lines.
Emily For Real is all of those books at once.

“Acts of Courage made me want to go dig up more information, which is surely a goal of history writers everywhere – to inspire interest in what really happened. In that sense, a rousing success!
…to people who think Canadian history is boring – this book will change your mind.”–Lindsey Carmichael
