Today, I am hosting Sharon Huss Roat on my website for the YA Scavenger Hunt! Sharon Huss Roat grew up in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania,
and now lives in Delaware with her husband and two children. She worked in
public relations/communications for twenty years before pursuing her dream of
writing a novel. She is the author of BETWEEN THE NOTES (June 2015) and HOW TO
DISAPPEAR (August 2017), both from HarperTeen. When not writing, she can
usually be found reading, gardening, or cooking. Also napping. (Naps are key.)
Visit her on Twitter @sharonwrote or Instagram @sharonhussroat.

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT
HOW TO DISAPPEAR by Sharon Huss Roat
From the author of Between the Notes comes a story that
shines a light on our love of social media and how sometimes being the person
you think you want to be isn’t as great as being the person you truly are.
Vicky Decker’s social anxiety has helped her master the art
of hiding in plain sight, appearing only to her best friend, Jenna. But when
Jenna moves away, Vicky’s isolation becomes unbearable. So she decides to
invent a social life by Photoshopping herself into other people’s pictures and
posting them on Instagram under the screen name Vicurious.
Instantly, she begins to get followers, and soon, Vicky has
made a whole new life for herself without ever leaving her bedroom. But the
more followers she amasses online, the clearer it becomes that there are a lot
of people out there who feel like her—#alone and #ignored in real life. To help
them, and herself, she must stop living vicariously and start bringing the
magic of Vicurious back to life.
From Sharon Huss Roat: HOW TO DISAPPEAR doesn’t come out until August, so I thought it might be fun to share five of my favorite quotes to give a sense of the main character, Vicky, and what the book is about. Since social media plays a big role in this story, I’ve presented the quotes in an Instagram-style graphic, featuring the main character’s user name, Vicurious.
