LITERARY CLASSICS - SILVER AWARD
Excellence in Young Adult Fiction
"Skinny White Freak" is meant to empower teenagers to overcome bullying. For that reason, I'm particularly proud it was honored with a Silver Award by Literary Classics, an organization dedicated to "furthering excellence in literature for young readers" while "educating and encouraging positive values."
LITERARY CLASSICS PRESS RELEASE:
Literary Classics is pleased to announce that the book Skinny White Freak, by Paul Haddad, has been selected to receive the Literary Classics Seal of Approval. The CLC Seal of Approval is a designation reserved for those books which uphold the rigorous criteria set forth by the Literary Classics review committee, a team comprised of individuals with backgrounds in publishing, editing, writing, illustration and graphic design.
Skinny White Freak, by Paul Haddad, is an often snarky and entirely entertaining coming-of-age tale of a teenaged boy who has finally reached his bullying threshold. Pushed to his limits he digs deep within to find a resolve he didn't know he had. Often witty, occasionally heart-rending, but always honest, this book offers an introspective glimpse into the tender frailty of youth. Skinny White Freak is a triumphant exploration of the weaknesses and strengths of the human spirit and a book that will resonate with readers of all ages.
