Ezra Exposed

Quotes

“Sweet, silly Ezra and his butt-joke-loving, approval-seeking antics make for a hilarious read, but it’s the serious digital citizenship lesson that parents and educators will applaud. I’m putting this in front of my kids now!” Suzanne Francis, New York Times bestselling Disney author  

“Ezra Exposed pulls off a magic trick: it’s an entertaining, hilariously funny story about a serious and difficult issue, told with compassion in a pitch-perfect middle-grade voice. This book will open the eyes of young readers and their parents, while also offering guidance and reassurance.” Natalie Standiford, author of The Only Girl in School

“Author Amy Feldman has pulled off quite a magic trick: she hides a gentle educational warning in a wildly entertaining, fast-paced, and funny debut. Readers will fall in love with Ezra and his hilarity, but above all, they will relate to his mistakes. Essential reading for any kid about to own a phone for the first time—and for their parents.” Leslie Margolis, New York Times bestselling author

“Ezra’s droll first-person narration, desire to be liked, and evolving maturity deftly render this a humorous and self-reflective tale.” Publishers Weekly

“Ezra Miller is the chicken-nugget-butt we need right now! Ezra Exposed introduces us to an unforgettable character who accidentally finds fame and shame through his Instagram account. Amy Feldman’s writing is funny, relatable, and informative. And if you have kids who like to take pics on their phones, it's also crucial.” Robin Epstein, bestselling author of the Groovy Girls series

“The book nails middle school humor with its delight in matters of the body as well as the unending quest for popularity and its evolution with social media…With charm, the book exemplifies the pull between childhood and the impending teenage years that typifies the life of a tween…Smart and funny, Ezra Exposed illustrates just how dangerous the push for popularity can be—particularly when it is paired with the internet and butts.” Foreword Reviews

“This story is entertaining and educational at the same time. I couldn’t put it down! It is on the top of my must-buy list for my middle school students.” Christine Rosa, library media specialist

“This book is highly accessible for a late elementary school audience…This book would be a great talking point for parents with their children about so many learning moments. These include internet safety, peer pressure, puberty, and work ethic.” Caitlin Dalton, 7th grade teacher

“I wish this were a book that didn’t need to be written. But internet safety is a real issue, and kids need to know the legal and social ramifications of their actions, and this is an age-appropriate way to introduce and explain this to kids.” Donna Melter, educator

“This is an amazing book. It lays out what can happen with the internet. Ezra is a kid that most kids can relate to—not perfect, but not a bad kid. He makes a little mistake, and it slowly grows into a big problem. It will show the kids what happens if they forget what goes on the internet stays on the internet. This will work much better than a dozen lectures.” Allison Dollar, former school librarian, MA in children’s literature
