Don't these two titles together make quite the "pear?" (Forgive my fruit jokes, I can't help myself.) #StarWarsPropaganda and #MetaphorsBeWithYou are on sale now wherever books are sold!

BookishMarginalia Both are fabulous! @WanderingBookaneer actually used the Star Wars Propaganda book with her middle schoolers while reading Night. 8y
