Death by Toilet Paper | Donna Gephart
11 posts | 4 read | 1 to read
Fans of How to Survive Middle School will welcome the adventures of a contest-crazed seventh grader who uses his wits and way with words in hopes of winning a big cash prize to help his family avoid eviction. Benjamin is about to lose a whole lot more than good toilet paper. But even with his flair for clever slogans, will he be able to win a cash prize large enough to keep a promise he made to his dad before he died? Praise for Death by Toilet Paper "Gephart's generous view of humanity's basic goodness shines through, and she leavens her characters' difficult situation with plenty of humor. . . Readers can't help but enjoy this heartening book about hanging in there."--Kirkus Reviews "Ben is a character kids will root for, and he's surrounded by family and friends who help him see things will be okay, a message that may comfort readers facing similar circumstances."--Publisher's Weekly "Gephart, author of How to Survive Middle School (BCCB 6/10), again shows a deft hand at rendering difficult situations with empathy, adding just the right amount of realistic humor to relieve but not trivial- ize. . . Despite its title and cover art, this is not a romp, but it would make a fine classroom readaloud."--The Bulletin From the Hardcover edition.

So when this coronapocalypse makes its way into our #historybooks , someone needs to use this image as the “See Figure 1” picture with a caption explaining the sudden disappearance of #toiletpaper underneath it.

night_shift Same here. And with a few other staple things. The scariest for me, honestly, is diapers. We can go thre clothe route if we have to but omg. 4y

It‘s late, but I couldn‘t resist sharing my favorite knick knack with you all. My toilet paper princess was my Grandmother‘s and when I was little, I thought it was the height of elegance and class! When my Grandmother passed it was the only thing of hers that I truly wanted to remember her by. My Dad had no idea that she was so important and had to dig her out of a trash pile for me. Some people just have no taste! 😂 #ManicMonday

monkeygirlsmama 😹 Def a Grandma thing! 6y
AshleyHoss820 My great-grandma had some of these! And she had a black tile bathroom (like, it was on the WALLS too) with gold marbled into it...and she decorated it with flamingos. I loved that bathroom! You‘re right! Some people just don‘t know the value of things! 😊😊😊 (edited) 6y

Since I am the underdog here during #TheGreatToiletPaperDebate ( @jesshowbooks look at what you started 😅) I decided that this picture speaks true! As long as you aren't on the bottom (like everyone in my household is 😤) i can live with that.

MommyOfTwo I am the top left, I don‘t consider myself OCD except for a few things. If I‘m at someone‘s house and the TP is like the top right, I will change it 😂 6y
Eggbeater My husband is on the bottom left. We don't have to share a bathroom in our new house, but I had just gotten used to it. 6y

New snarky socks from @FountainBookstore !

Perfect for me because I have interstitial cystitis. A sense of humor dulls the pain.

vkois88 Same! I may need to invest in a pair of these myself. IC sucks 6y
Eggbeater @vkois88 I'm sorry you have it, too. It hurts more than people can imagine. They've tried everything. I named my bladder Joan Rivers because it's actually had botox. 6y
vkois88 It's not funnt, but at the same, time it is... oh my goodness. That's crazy. They've never really explored options for mine, bc it's gotten better than it was when I was first diagnosed. But there are definitely days it flares up more than others. And no one understands why I pee so much or look like I'm in pain when I have to go... it's fun. 6y
Eggbeater @vkois88 I have to laugh. I've had it for 18 years. It has not gotten better. I can't even hold a job but I still have a good life. I have learned to appreciate the good days. I hope it continues to get better for you. Sometimes people experience spontaneous remission. 6y
FountainBookstore Sorry you have it, but yay socks! 6y

My husband was shopping and brought unicorn toilet paper. 🙈 (my daughter loves it, although -or maybe because- it doesn't sparkle)

So, dear #summersantagoespostal surprise me with anything but unicorn toilet paper. 😂😂😂

And before anyone asks, I did not take this picture while using the facility. I had to take it, because the DD wanted me to send a WhatsApp message to her grandparents showing off the most recent acquisition.

On New Year's Eve my iPhone jumped off the side in to the toilet- this is before I went out! I can't even blame alcohol! Needless to say I am now phoneless and the only three things I was desperate to get back were Litsy, Audible and my podcasts. According to my husband this makes me a very sad individual (he just doesn't understand how awesome we are 😉) I've missed you Littens! And my iPad finally has the app after a software upgrade!

Jenshootsweddings Oh man! I could do without my phone but not without Litsy! 7y
TrishB That would be terrible!! 7y
Magpiegem Tell me about it @Jenshootsweddings it was literally the first thing I thought about! Followed swiftly by the realisation that my phone hasn't backed up for months and I've lost all the photos of my babies first year 😥 7y
Jenshootsweddings Oh no ☹️☹️☹️ Im always telling my clients to back up back up back up yet I RARELY back up my own personal pics. How heartbreaking 💔💔 7y
