Biographical note
John Schu has made a career out of advocating for the people and things he cares about most: kids, books, and the people that connect them. He is the children’s librarian, a part-time lecturer at Rutgers University, and shares his love of reading with countless educators and students around the world. He is the author of This Is a School illustrated by Veronica Miller Jamison and This Is a Story illustrated by Caldecott Honor artist Lauren Castillo.An intensely affecting verse novel for 14+, drawing on the author’s own experience of anorexia treatment.
- Imogen Russell Williams, The Guardian
<i>Louder Than Hunger</i> captures the insidious nature of mental illness… [Jake’s] winding road to recovery is realistically complex… It’s a welcome addition to eating-disorder literature for young people – accessible but not simplistic, hopeful without being saccharine.
Irish Times
Schu’s work should be in every high school library as quickly as possible and the message of selfworth that Schu gives his reader will be underlined for every reader who accompanies Jake.
Books for Keeps
This is an incredible account of eating disorder recovery that expresses a person’s experiences in a way I’ve wanted to see for years.
NetGalley Reviewer
These words are powerful, painful at times but an undiminished extraordinarily powerful collection of succinct verse.
