People who write, make, read, and love books have done something really amazing since Thursday morning: Raising a MILLION dollars to help Syrian refugee children!
Well. Well, it's very nearly a million. See, we want to help raise the last $61,919.43. We're pledging $770 (because that's the same as £500), and we're trying to get 19 more bookshops to do the same, and then we'll match your $10,000, and then we'll be a third of the rest of the way so
Join the donation campaign here.
Meanwhile, let's celebrate the authors who have matched donations, raised money, and raised awareness! Here is a reading list of the authors who have made matching donations to help@Patrick_Ness and @savechildrenuk raise money for the Syrian refugees so far:
Patrick Ness – The Rest of Us Just Live Here – coming Oct. 6, 2015 – and the Chaos Walking series
