Stacy Padula to be Interviewed on WATD 95.9FM – Monday 3/18 at 8:10AM

On Monday 3/18/19, Author Stacy A. Padula of Plymouth, Massachusetts will be interviewed by Rob Hakala on WATD 95.9’s South Shore Morning News about her new young adult book series “Gripped.” Within days of its release, “Gripped Part 1: The Truth We Never Told” became the #1 New Release on Amazon Kindle in its category.

Why You Should Read the #1 New Release “Gripped Part 1: The Truth We Never Told”

I would first recommend Gripped Part 1 by Stacy Padula to all incoming intermediate and secondary school students as I believe it is very important to get this target audience exposed to topics such as substance abuse. Furthermore, in the United States, there is a steep upward trend in drug usage across all ages, mostly originating from tweens and teenagers. By reading Gripped Part 1, these age groups will hopefully realize all the negative drawbacks that come with taking drugs, and as a result, steer away from substances to maintain a healthy academic and social career.
