Katie Friedman Gives Up Texting! (and Lives to Tell About It): A Charlie Joe Jackson Book

229 pp. | Roaring Brook | February, 2015 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59643-837-8 $13.99 | Ebook ISBN 978-1-59643-839-2
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by J. P. Coovert. Katie--like her bestie, Charlie Joe Jackson, and everyone in their middle-school class--texts constantly. After sending the wrong text and jeopardizing a good friendship, Katie takes a cue from her technology-hating rock-star idol and swears off screens for a week. The story feels purposeful, but Greenwald's meditation on the timely topic of technology use among tweens avoids preachiness.
