Jay Asher to Travel the Country For The ’50 States Against Bullying’ Tour
“Asher explained that his tour presentation will address bullying from various angles, ‘because there are so many ways to approach the issue, and I know that different things reach people differently.’ He also underscored the benefit of addressing students together, on their home ground. ‘One of the main ideas in my book is that you can go to school with the same people year after year, but never fully know what else they’re dealing with in life,’ he explained. ‘Also, everyone has different thresholds for what they can handle. Having these ideas presented in an accessible and personal way, knowing all of your classmates are hearing the same message, has a real effect.'” (Publishers Weekly)
