About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking difficult questions about hate symbols they have seen in the news or when you want to discuss how a community can take collective responsibility for its culture. Linked follows three middle schoolers in a quiet town rocked by the appearance of swastikas at their school. Through a compelling mystery, Gordon Korman explores the weight of historical trauma and the power of student-led activism. While the subject matter is serious, the tone is accessible and empowering for late elementary and middle school readers. It is an excellent choice for parents looking to move past 'don't be a bully' toward deeper conversations about empathy, Jewish identity, and standing up for others.
