Update: I spoke with a bookstore employee who said she & her manager have never seen a message like the one the reader got about WGAMO being removed from inventory. This version of the book is definitely still in print. But the bureaucracy of getting a more definitive answer may be prohibitive.

Last night, HARRIET TELLS THE TRUTH won the SCBWI Sid Fleischman Award for Humor!! FINALLY--I'm officially funny! I'm so grateful to the judges and SCBWI, as well as my editor and the whole HarperCollins Team, and of course Dung Ho, whose illustrations crack ME up!

Tomorrow, BAT AND THE BUSINESS OF FERRETS will be out in the world!! Today, I want to share this essay I wrote a little while back, about my beautiful brain. I hope you'll read it and maybe share it, especially if you're a teacher or work with young people. Onward! elanakarnold.com/my-beautiful...

Would love to see the cishet white men of kidlit get vocal in the fight against book bans. Literally ALL the rest of us are being silenced. You're the only ones who truly have a chance of being listened to here. Staying silent is a political choice, too ✌🏽

This book fucken rips. I can see why small, predatory men want it banned from the entire state of Utah high schools. It calls awful men by name, looks them in their beady eyes and promises death. Will be giving it to all the teen girls I know. libro.fm/audiobooks/9...

@elanakarnold.bsky.social's "Damsel" is now banned statewide in Utah. A Printz Award Honor Book for excellence in young adult literature, it's the 15th book on Utah's "No-Read List." Other titles on the list include Judy Blume's "Forever" and Margaret Atwood's "Oryx and Crake."
