#metoo and You

Can you define a healthy relationship? Would you recognize unsafe or abusive behavior if you saw it or heard about it?

My friend said if I don't give her my new shoes, she won't invite me to her party.
My older neighbor invites me over to play video games but told me not to tell anyone.
My boyfriend gets mad if I don't message him right after school.
My tutor sometimes touches me in a creepy way during private study sessions.

The #MeToo movement took the world by storm, but do middle graders understand its importance? It can be hard for young readers to learn about harassment and abuse--adults want to protect them. But kids need to know what is okay and what is not, as well as how to protect themselves, behave appropriately, and get help when they need it.

This book is the tween reader's one-stop shop for learning all about consent, boundaries, abuse, and more. It covers victim-blaming, harassment, grooming, and what to do if you or someone you know has been abused, including getting help from adults. You'll also learn how to be an ally and an activist in the fight against shame and abuse. Filled with true-to-life scenarios, this book explores the nuances and challenges of social interaction and emotions, as well as dispelling common myths about abuse. Let this book be your essential guide to #MeToo.
