Reach Out Reads is an initiative that sets out to help young people who are coping with issues that impact on their mental health. The project also features authors hosting live chats for young adults in which they can talk about their own experiences.

The website tied in with the series showcases real-life stories and lets young people know the facts about the things they and their friends are going through. The next author chat will be held around Open Wounds, a story about a boy trying to survive a tough upbringing in Queens, NY.
