About me: Hello! Justina here. Along with Burton Snowboards and Youth Venture, I'm co-sponsoring a GO OVERBOARD CHALLENGE GRANT to fund the best youth-led ideas to change the world. 12 grants, each up to $1,000. What are you waiting for? Go shake up the world!
Here's what people are saying about GIRL OVERBOARD:
Junior Library Guild Premier Selection
"I love Girl Overboard...an inspiring story about a girl finding friendship, family, and - most importantly - herself." -Carolyn Mackler, author of Guyaholic and The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things, A Michael L. Printz Honor Book
"If SYRAH were a real person, we'd make great friends because WE both have a passion for climbing high, reaching for our dreams, and loving every step while we go over every obstacle. We could snowboard together and then pump up the world with inspiring things!" —Hannah Teter, Olympic Gold Medalist, Snowboarding Half Pipe
"Justina Chen Headley, like her main character, is a 'girl with guts.' Girl Overboard is an exhilarating ride from start to finish." --K.L. Going, author of Fat Kid Rules the World, Michael L. Printz honor book
“Girl Overboard is a powerful story about staying true to who you are and what you love to do. This book is a great inspiration for any young person interested in making a difference.” - Donna Carpenter, Owner/Co-Founder, Burton Snowboards & Chill
And what they said about NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH (and a few white lies):
"Headley makes an impressive debut with this witty, intimate novel..."
--Publishers Weekly *starred* review
Pretty spiffy online crib ya got here! Okay...I was trying to sound cool...Did it work? No, probably not, right? Yeah, wellllllllllll...That's fine because I really just stopped by to remind you to add my FACEBOOK page (if you haven't already). I feel kinda bad advertising Facebook on Myspace, but then again, I'm shameless and that's life. So, if you're willing to put aside my "lack of cool" for a good time (no, not like the kind you read about on the bathroom wall...dirty mind), copy & paste FACEBOOK. COM/PEOPLE/LINDSAY_RUSH-MUSIC/788609305 into your web address thing up there ^. So simple and quick - like Pop-Tarts! : )
Justina-- when are you actually leaving for your big journey off to china? You must be so excited =) I can't wait to read all your fun blogs while you are away. Emily
HEY JUSTINA! I'M STARTING TO WRITE A BOOK OF MY OWN! ALTHOUGH IM STILL IN MY TWEEN YEARS, I THINK I CAN PULL OF A SERIOUS BOOK. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE THE MOST HELPFUL!! I'm SOOOO glad I had the chance of meeting you at your book signing in Denver!
