Nevers
A worthy addition to middle grade collections; give this to fans of Adam Gidwitz’s The Inquisitor’s Tale.
While this guide covers no new ground for librarians who have already begun learning about and addressing mental health issues within their community, it does pull together a number of helpful tips and resources.
