GET READY FOR THE BRAND NEW AND IMPROVED POP

One of the books I’ve always been most proud of is POP, my young adult novel about the oddball friendship between a high school football player and a retired NFL linebacker who suffers from CTE.

But a lot has changed since POP first came out in 2009. The diagnosis of CTE barely existed back then. And I’ve always wished I could re-release POP with the very latest information about Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy.

On May 7, that’s finally happening, thanks to my editors at HarperCollins and Scholastic Canada. The issue of sports and brain injuries has never been more urgent.
