Title: Accountable: The True Story of a Racist Social Media Account and the Teenagers Whose Lives It Changed Author: Dashka Slater Narrator: Ariel Blake Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 12 minutes Release date: August 22, 2023 Genres: Tough Topics Publisher's Summary: 'The audiobook brings to light the power of social dynamics, questions the role of personal responsibility, and examines the fallout that occurred long after the event, affecting all involved for years.'- AudioFile From the New York Times-bestselling author of The 57 Bus comes Accountable, a propulsive and thought-provoking new young adult narrative nonfiction book about the revelation of a racist social media account that changes everything for a group of high school students and begs the question: What does it mean to be held accountable for harm that takes place behind a screen? When a high school student started a private Instagram account that used racist and sexist memes to make his friends laugh, he thought of it as “edgy” humor. Over time, the edge got sharper. Then a few other kids found out about the account. Pretty soon, everyone knew. Ultimately no one in the small town of Albany, California, was safe from the repercussions of the account’s discovery. Not the girls targeted by the posts. Not the boy who created the account. Not the group of kids who followed it. Not the adults—educators and parents—whose attempts to fix things too often made them worse. In the end, no one was laughing. And everyone was left asking: Where does accountability end for online speech that harms? And what does accountability even mean? Award-winning and New York Times–bestselling author Dashka Slater has written a must-read book for our era that explores the real-world consequences of online choices. A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

But when Aunt Fran is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Del’s equilibrium is shattered. She’s dedicated herself to saving every life she can, but she can’t save Fran.

En terapia conocerá a Jamie y, por primera vez en su vida, encajará. Ella le mira como nadie lo ha hecho antes. Y cuando él la mira, ve en ella todo lo que siempre ha querido. En cambio los demás, cuando miran a Jamie, ven algo completamente distinto. Y cuando la presenta como «su chica», sus amigos se ríen.

Reseñas: «Spangler ha creado unos personajes cautivadores que nos ofrecen una perspectiva de la larga y dolorosa batalla de muchos adolescentes para acabar con los estereotipos y conseguir la dignidad y aceptación que merecen.» Publishers Weekly «Desde el principio me conquistó la narración del libro, con su ritmo ameno y fluido y la acidez, ironía y desenfado que desprende la pluma de la autora. [#] Una obra que compagina muy bien su parte más cómica y desenvuelta con los momentos más reflexivos y profundos. Una historia diferente.» El rincón de Leyna
