He is a also an advocate of using comics/graphic novels and media in classrooms, as well as curating a wide range of authors. Abbey Bachman
Abbey hopes to share her knowledge as well as learn more resources for teaching YA lit and reading new and relevant YA picks.

Her research centers around student choice in texts and the classroom, so staying relevant on new YA books is a passion that she shares with others. Archives
