About the Author:
Emily Trunko is an astonishing 16-year-old girl from the small town of Copley, Ohio. At age eleven, she started a book review blog called On Emily's Bookshelf, and at age fourteen she created The Clover Chain Project--dedicated to pairing up teens struggling with similar issues, which attracted local media attention. Emily created two Tumblr projects that became Internet sensations and books. Dear My Blank was inspired by her personal notebook of letters that she wrote but never intended to send. And The Last Message Received grew out of her curiosity about life-changing letters, notes, and texts that people have received. Emily continues to be fascinated by the way people connect through the written word.
From School Library Journal:
Gr 9 Up—It can be quite cathartic to write down thoughts in the form of a letter or, in the case of this volume, anonymously post them online. This assortment of letters submitted to the popular Tumblr "Dear My Blank," created and run by 16-year-old Trunko, contains entries on myriad teen-related subjects and emotions. The book is neatly divided into thematic sections (unrequited love, loss, and so on). The letters are punctuated by lovely illustrations that help transform the text. Readers can peruse at their discretion, read straight through, or even share with friends this accessible and browsable selection. However, the writing tends to be a bit uneven, and the mature content (cursing, sex) makes this better suited for high school readers. VERDICT The popularity of the Tumblr is a testament to the cache of readers awaiting this title. Consider for teen nonfiction collections with an interest in social media and inspirational stories.—Esther Keller, I.S. 278, Brooklyn
