Yesterday we had an online Twitter chat with authors Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely, as well as many readers, as part of the #SJYALit Project. I storified that discussion so that you can read it here in case you missed it.

`Talking ALL AMERICAN BOYS with Jason Reynolds and Brendan Kiely for Social Justice in YA Lit (#SJYALit)`

Today at 5 E talk w/@JasonReynolds83 & @KielyBrendan for #SJYALit (Social Justice in #yalit) on Twitter pic.twitter.com/0BuBVKTmw6

Let me take this moment to mention that THE HATE U GIVE is a really powerful companion to ALL AMERICAN BOYS #SJYALit

It's not officially a companion, I should clarify, just a good read that goes along with the themes of AAB #SJYALit
