Amanda Zieba Learning with the Word Nerd | Louder Than Hunger First Chapter Friday Read Aloud Video for Middle Schoolers @AmandaZiebatheWordNerd | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 11 hours ago.
Friday, September 27, 2024 - Join us for this week’s First Chapter Friday read aloud video, where we dive into the powerful first chapter of "Louder Than Hunger," a novel in verse by revered teacher and librarian, John Schu. This compelling story addresses the serious topics of anorexia and self-expression as a vital act of survival. As you watch and listen, play along and discover the mystery quote hiding throughout the video, one… word… at… a… time!
Blurb: Jake volunteers at a nursing home because he likes helping people. He likes skating and singing, playing Bingo and Name That Tune, and reading mysteries and comics aloud to his teachers. He also likes avoiding people his own age . . . and the cruelty of mirrors . . . and food. Jake has read about kids like him in books—the weird one, the outsider—and would do anything not to be that kid, including shrink himself down to nothing. But the less he eats, the bigger he feels. How long can Jake punish himself before he truly disappears? A fictionalized account of the author’s experiences and emotions living in residential treatment facilities as a young teen with an eating disorder, Louder than Hunger is a triumph of raw honesty. With a deeply personal afterword for context, this much-anticipated verse novel is a powerful model for muffling the destructive voices inside, managing and articulating pain, and embracing self-acceptance, support, and love.
