ARC readers
Apply to read Some People's Kids early.
I'm looking for a small group of early readers who want to spend time with the book before launch and leave an honest review around release.
About the book
A kid dropped at Hope House and told he isn't coming home.
When Strummer is left at Hope House, he has nine months to survive the system, keep his head down, and make it to eighteen. But places like Hope House don't just hold you. They get under your skin.

FAQ
What is an ARC?
An ARC is an advance reader copy shared before publication so early readers can read the book and, if they want to, post an honest review around launch.
When would I receive the book?
Selected readers will get the digital ARC before launch, with clear timing and instructions in the follow-up email.
Do I need to leave a positive review?
No. Honest reviews matter more than positive ones.
Is this a physical copy or digital copy?
For this ARC round, assume digital delivery.
