As you know, Laurie is hitting the road for the publication of SHOUT, and many of those events include a book as part of the ticket. We’ve got good news for those who can’t make an event but still want a signed copy — Children’s Book World will be handling signed preorders!
If you preorder through them, you’ll get a signed copy of SHOUT plus a limited edition tote bag. In addition, for every preorder of SHOUT by Laurie Halse Anderson received before 3/11, Penguin Young Readers will donate $1 to RAINN, the nation’s largest anti-sexual violence organization (up to $5,000). So you can get a signed book, get some swag, and do some good all in one. Full details are right here.
Is Shout a sequal to Speak
Hi Trace,
Thanks for your question! SHOUT is Laurie’s memoir in verse, so it’s not a novel like Speak or a sequel. However, it does shed light on Laurie’s own experiences that led her to write Speak! –Jenn
Any idea when these will be arriving within the US? I’m a little worried that I haven’t gotten any updates on my order and now the book is out.
Hi Jennifer, thanks for checking! I do believe these have been shipped out; the best thing to do is check with Children’s Book World about your order. Fingers crossed it gets to you soon! –Jenn
