    It’s always good to have books that show hazing isn’t just harmless pranks and fun. I look forward to reading these, whether I win the package or not. But thanks for the opportunity to enter!

    Coming from a sorority background it would be good to have a dynamic male perspective of the hazing I saw on campus. I’d love to get these books in my school library!

    To have books about hazing and bullying in your library is something that is desperately needed right now. Perhaps if we had more information about these topics, more people might recognize their behavior as bullying and/or hazing and help us put a stop to these practices.

    I’ve read a fair number of YA bullying/hazing books over my years in education, and it is always a topic that hits home and helps bring awareness to students. Can’t wait to add these to my list!
