We think that Hannah Moskowitz is a great author to recommend to students and include in your classroom library, not just because of her books, but because of her story. Having her first book published at age 17 is something that every student who is an aspiring writer can be emboldened by.

If you enjoyed Salt, we recommend that you check out some of her other works such as Teeth, Invincible Summer, and A History of Glitter and Blood.
