"The Last Last-Day-of-Summer reminds me that all children deserve
to exist in magical spaces where their imaginations and familial
bonds will them into heroism. Every single child should have the
freedom to be one of The Legendary Alstons. And I, for one, am
grateful to Giles, and this brilliant story, for that reminder."
--Jason Reynolds, #1 New York Times bestselling and Newbery

Now, with the help of some very strange people and even stranger
creatures, Otto and Sheed will have to put aside their differences

Out of all reported cases of sexual assault, nearly 70 percent
occur with victims who are under the age of seventeen, and it has
been estimated that one in ten children will be sexually abused
before they turn eighteen. Sexual assault has become an
all-too-common occurrence among young adults. An assault can cause
physical injuries, STDs and STIs, post-traumatic stress disorder,
flashbacks, anxiety, depression, and other re-experiencing
symptoms. It can lead to poor academic performance, substance
abuse, risky sexual behavior, and even suicide. Research has also
shown that victims of sexual abuse are more likely to confide in
friends than in adults, but those friends may not be-equipped to
help. In Sexual Assault: The Ultimate Teen Guide, Olivia
Ghafoerkhan describes the various ways sexual violence can be
perpetrated, discusses myths many teens believe about the subject,
and outlines how young adults can get the help they need to begin
the healing process. Topics covered include *date rape *abusive
relationships *incest *breaking the silence *victim blaming
*support *healing An invaluable resource for young people, Sexual
Assault: The Ultimate Teen Guide aims to give victims and their
friends the courage to report such crimes, advice on where to find
help, and hope that life can return to some sense of normalcy after
such a horrific experience.
