This little book just keeps chugging along, and now it’s back on the NYT list for a fifth month. Huge thanks to all the educators and booksellers who keep putting it in the hands of readers. S&S EducationLibrary East West Literary Middle Grade Authorcade

I loved this sweet book.

Can't wait for this!

I fell in love with “Alone” when I first read it and ended up reading it with my 7th graders last year. We knew there was more to the story!! Finally had time to read “Away” and LOVED IT! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Megan E. Freeman

What a fantastic night--SPARK is launched! THANK YOU to the standing room only crowd at Warwick's!  Megan and I had a blast talking about SPARK and AWAY and all things poetry, middle grade, and life.  Thank you for an evening of hope and heart💙

Huge thanks to the Barnes & Noble booksellers for including AWAY on the shortlist, and for all they do for readers and authors. 🙏❤️ @eastwestlit @ssedlib @simonkids SCBWI Rocky Mtn (NOT MONITORED) Middle Grade Authorcade Barnes & Noble #AwaybyMeganEFreeman
