| Recently, one of our U.K. partners introduced us to a popular biographical category trending overseas. They refer to it as "Misery Lit." These are distressing tales of childhood experiences much like Dave Pelzer's stories. I combed through our collection and found many other authors with similar tales to Pelzer's, including his own brother's side of the popular story, A Child Called "It." These awe-inspiring stories will keep you on the edge of your seat and are sure to leave quite an impact. Check out these titles and other Dave Pelzer read-a-likes available through OverDrive.
And remember your Collection Development Specialist is always available to help create any recommended lists. Email collectionteam@overdrive.com for more information today!
