Teen blogger, author, motivational speaker and social activist, Hannah Alper has been named to Bloomberg’s Ones To Watch In 2018 List. Hannah is the only teenager on this prestigious list.
I had a chance to review her first book, Momentus: Small Acts, Big Change. It reached #1 on Amazon’s list in sociology, and in the Top 10 Bestselling Books For Teens in Indigo and Chapters.
As a writer, activist, public speaker, and global citizen, 14-year old Hannah Alper has found power in using her voice to inspire, motivate and empower people of all ages to identify their passion and take action. She is committed to promoting big change through small, everyday actions and believes in the power of young people to shape the world they want to live in. Momentus shares this journey on the global stage and demonstrates her message coming to life.
“This book has been a passion project of mine for years and I am so happy kids, teenagers, and adults are reading it to make a difference,” said Momentus author Hannah Alper. “I believe that if there are many of us making small actions, it will lead to big change. The title of this book grew out of that idea. When all of our actions are added up, the impact will be momentous and we will change the world. It is about all of us and all of our moments when we are inspired, passionate and moved to act—momentus.”
This book is clearly written by a teen and for teens. The language is quite sophisticated for a girl her age, but also much more simplified than books written by adults. The layout and book graphics are also clearly designed for juvenile readers as well. However, the content is something appropriate for everyone from middle-grade readers to adults, with many different profiles of people who are making a difference to encourage and inspire readers to make their own marks.
