Cramm This Book is a truly exemplary piece of non-fiction。 It remains accessible， engaging and authentic to a Gen-Z voice without ever feeling condescending or forced。 Seltzer， after more than 4 years of being the sole writer of The Cramm is a seasoned and immensely talented writer， and her incredibly distinctive and highly commanding voice shines through this entire book。 Cramm This Book explores issues that are inescapably important in today's political context with compassion， nuance， depth o Cramm This Book is a truly exemplary piece of non-fiction。 It remains accessible， engaging and authentic to a Gen-Z voice without ever feeling condescending or forced。 Seltzer， after more than 4 years of being the sole writer of The Cramm is a seasoned and immensely talented writer， and her incredibly distinctive and highly commanding voice shines through this entire book。 Cramm This Book explores issues that are inescapably important in today's political context with compassion， nuance， depth of understanding and faultless balance。 Deeply informative and deeply moving， Cramm This Book is the ideal guide for any young person that wants to be an agent of change， or simply wants to do better in their politics and government classes。 That being said， anyone and everyone should read this book， if simply because for an 18-year-old to nearly flawlessly capture some of the most pressing and complex issues in the world in a medium that is both impeccably researched and analysed and completely enthralling， rife with the kind of command over language that is rarely associated with people Seltzer's age， is a feat worth celebrating。 While The Cramm has already demonstrated that Olivia is， without question， an incredibly successful and inspiring young person， Cramm This Book shows that she is， irrefutably， the voice of a generation。 。。。more

Fun Fact: In high school/college my dream was to be a journalist。 I’ve always been fascinated by the media and the stories we are/aren’t being told when we consume any media， but especially the news。 When I learned about Cramm this Book I was excited to read it！If you aren’t familiar with The Cramm， it was created by then 13 year old Olivia Seltzer as a news outlet for Gen Z to share what is happening in the world and inspire them to make a difference。 This book tackles important topics from his Fun Fact: In high school/college my dream was to be a journalist。 I’ve always been fascinated by the media and the stories we are/aren’t being told when we consume any media， but especially the news。 When I learned about Cramm this Book I was excited to read it！If you aren’t familiar with The Cramm， it was created by then 13 year old Olivia Seltzer as a news outlet for Gen Z to share what is happening in the world and inspire them to make a difference。 This book tackles important topics from history and today - topics such as racism， the Me Too Movement， conflict in the Middle East and so much more。 This book breaks down topics so they are easy to understand for teenagers and young adults。 The writing is interesting and engaging， unlike most history books and it is so well done！I loved this book and think it would be such a valuable asset to have in every classroom。 This gives young people all of the information they need to be able to learn about what is happening， form an opinion and take a stand to change it。 I also appreciated how this book had illustrations， mas， timelines and other images to help with understanding and engagement。 We need more books like this！Thank you to Penguin Teen for the advanced copy。 。。。more

A book that should be part of everyone’s home library。 Do you ever just watch bits and pieces of the daily news and wish you knew more？ Or could understand why things are happening？Well， like me， you need this book。 Such an in depth explanation of pretty much every important， and super relevant topic happening in today’s headlines。 Sometimes it’s hard to speak of something you might not understand， and I love that this book touches on topics and explains much of the history， and how we came to b A book that should be part of everyone’s home library。 Do you ever just watch bits and pieces of the daily news and wish you knew more？ Or could understand why things are happening？Well， like me， you need this book。 Such an in depth explanation of pretty much every important， and super relevant topic happening in today’s headlines。 Sometimes it’s hard to speak of something you might not understand， and I love that this book touches on topics and explains much of the history， and how we came to be where we are today。 I read it aloud to my husband， and even he thought it brought such good insight， and it started several conversations between us， Which i think is so great， and so helpful when you can talk things out at home。 I read the advanced digital copy （thank you Penguin Teen and Netgalley！） and I’m happy and looking forward to getting my preordered finished copy！ Essential reading！ I definitely recommend it！ 。。。more

I'm in that awkward generational line between GenZ and Millenial。 That being said， I think this book was too young for me personally but I can see the appeal that this book would have for a GenZ student somewhere in the age range of a high school student。 The information was very informative and presented in a way that a student wouldn't feel like they were reading a history textbook。 There were certainly topics covered in this book that likely wouldn't make it into any school curriculum。 I thin I'm in that awkward generational line between GenZ and Millenial。 That being said， I think this book was too young for me personally but I can see the appeal that this book would have for a GenZ student somewhere in the age range of a high school student。 The information was very informative and presented in a way that a student wouldn't feel like they were reading a history textbook。 There were certainly topics covered in this book that likely wouldn't make it into any school curriculum。 I think this book definitely succeeded in its purpose of providing historical context to todays pressing social and current event issues for an audience who are too young to have lived through contextual historic events that a lot of news organizations assume is shared prior knowlege。 I'd definitely recommend putting this book in most high school libraries。 。。。more

Very informative and well-researched book！ I appreciated the Gen Z focused view of these historical events and movements ie text messages…very clever。 This is definitely a good book if you need a quick refresher on various forms of -isms like racism， ableism; important historical events like WWII， the Cuba Crisis; and more recent events like the #MeToo Movement， and BLM Movement。 I recommend this book to any high school students/college students who want to a look at history with a Gen Z frame-o Very informative and well-researched book！ I appreciated the Gen Z focused view of these historical events and movements ie text messages…very clever。 This is definitely a good book if you need a quick refresher on various forms of -isms like racism， ableism; important historical events like WWII， the Cuba Crisis; and more recent events like the #MeToo Movement， and BLM Movement。 I recommend this book to any high school students/college students who want to a look at history with a Gen Z frame-of-mind。 Also other generations （like me， a millennial） could benefit from this book， as a quick refresher on history and its various movements。 Thank you Penguin Teen for sending me this ebook Arc through Netgalley in exchange for my honest review。 。。。more

Ever wonder why things are the way they are in the world？ Cramm This Book breaks down issues and events for today's teens to show how history has impacted them。 The book takes big issues， such as 9/11， Black Lives Matter， and climate change， into smaller， more digestible parts， including specific examples and definitions。 Coupled with illustrations， map and images， Cramm This Book is written so today's teens will be interested in current events and can understand why things are the way they are。 Ever wonder why things are the way they are in the world？ Cramm This Book breaks down issues and events for today's teens to show how history has impacted them。 The book takes big issues， such as 9/11， Black Lives Matter， and climate change， into smaller， more digestible parts， including specific examples and definitions。 Coupled with illustrations， map and images， Cramm This Book is written so today's teens will be interested in current events and can understand why things are the way they are。 The writing is not like a history book。 It's interesting and engaging， explaining everything in a way teens can understand。 I loved the text messages between countries when explaining different wars。 As a history teacher， I try to make the history relatable to my students and this book does an excellent job of doing that。 This is a book I can see using in my classroom to further engage my students。 It speaks their language and talks to them， not at them。 I also loved how the book ends on a call to action for today's teens， urging them that they have the choice whether to care or not， whether to take action or not。 But the future is in their hands。While the book does an excellent job of explaining and connecting events from WWII on， I wish it would have made further connections between more current issues and early history， including colonialism， the Revolutionary War， and the Civil War。 So many roots of today's social movements and issues stem from the formation of the United States。 However， you have to draw the line somewhere， and those connections could be another book itself。 Thanks to Penguin Teen for the advanced copy。 Cramm This Book publishes February 15， 2022。 。。。more
