WAKE NOW IN THE FIRE
A Story of Censorship, Action, Love, and Hope
"With a mix of fact and fiction WAKE NOW IN THE FIRE tells a deeply true and urgent story of student activism in the face of institutional censorship and cowardice. I was swept along with these smart, passionate teens and recognized my own fight in their story. Dapier and Dungo have put together a prescient narrative face to this book ban moment. Read this for a playbook on how to defend books, education, and free speech."
