Booktalk #1

If you could erase your memories would you? What if you could change who you are. Aaron  wants to change his life to become someone new, and a new medical procedure is available to allow him to do just that. But can he really escape who and what he is?
(Connecticut Nutmeg Book Award nominee, 2018)

Booktalk #2

Some memories are so painful that forgetting them sounds like the only way to keep going, but can you really forget those things that make you, you? Aaron Soto wonders if this magic “cure-all” for painful memories might be the way to help him forget about these feelings he is developing for Thomas, a new neighbor from the next project over. His over-worked mother, patient and loving girlfriend, and even his distant brother all want him to be happy, but at what cost? (Eliot Rosewater Indiana High School Book Award, Rosie Award, 2018)
