Dear Canadian Teacher-Librarians: Though you deserve pots-and-pans banging for your challenges this spring, I’m offering you instead a free download of my just-released YA novel, The Parkour Club, because a) you deserve a break ... b) I suspect school book budgets are tough these days d) Unlike the rest of my 20 YA novels, this one is self-published because it was considered a little too edgy (embraces #ownvoices and #diversity; promotes cross-cultural understanding while also involving sport, adventure and romance). My new co-author Arooj Hayat (a health coach, fitness blogger and childhood immigrant to Canada, which is pertinent to the storyline) and I tackle some controversial issues, like refugees adapting to North American high school life, and Islamophobia. Can I dare you to read it? And if you do choose to read it, please consider mentioning it in your social media, or reviewing it on Amazon or wherever. Here’s your free download code [https://BookHip.com/VFWXFD](https://bookhip.com/VFWXFD)(please don’t share it publicly). Take care, Pam Withers www.pamwithers.com
