Reveiws
Although the setting and the "who-done-it" story line have potential, high school libraries could make more suitable choices for their collections.
Charming and sensitive, an ideal choice for today's teens. ["This wistful love story will be adored by fans of Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor & Park and by those who enjoyed the unique narrative structure of A.S. King's Please Ignore Vera Dietz": SLJ 8/16 review of the Delacorte book.]
Listeners in middle and high school—and plenty of adults—will be begging for a sequel.
For sci-fi groupies in need of a quick aural fix, Okorafor's latest educates, explicates, and, of course, entertains.
This book filled with action and personal growth will appeal particularly to middle school sports buffs.
An additional selection. ["Add this gem to round out collections skewed toward 20th-century history": SLJ 10/15 review of the Katherine Tegen book.]
An essential acquisition for middle grade collections everywhere. ["A compelling and unflinchingly honest treatment of a difficult topic": SLJ 8/15 starred review of the Feiwel & Friends book.]
Highly recommended. ["Coming-of-age drama and deeper questions of faith, belonging, and womanhood are balanced with just the right blend of humor": SLJ 8/15 starred review of the Candlewick book.]
An optional selection for collections where books about cults and ethics are popular. ["Will hold readers' attention as the story's mood slowly changes and the work builds to an ultimately stunning conclusion": SLJ 2/15 review of the Running Pr. Teen book.]
