BLURBS AND REVIEWS:
I’m pleased to be sending the following blurbs and reviews for Virginia Boecker’s AN ASSASSIN’S GUIDE TO LOVE AND TREASON (Little, Brown BFYR, October 2018. Brazil: V&
“An engrossing story of love and intrigue, with a rich atmosphere that takes you back in time and a cast of historical characters that stay with you long after you've finished. I couldn't put it down!”
―Alexis Bass, author of Love and Other Theories
“In addition to revolving around Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, it has the spirit and fun of A Knight's Tale and a charm all its own. It instantly found a place on my all time favorites shelf.”
―Rachel Strolle, Anderson's Bookshop Naperville
“[Virginia Boecker] paints a thrilling picture of Tudor England with all the intrigue, romance, and danger a lover of historical fiction could want.”
― Sharon Biggs Waller, author of The Forbidden Orchid and A Mad, Wicked Folly
“Assassin's Guide to Love and Treason is an engrossing story of love and intrigue, with a rich atmosphere that takes you back in time and a cast of historical characters that stay with you long after you've finished. I couldn't put it down!”―Alexis Bass, author of Love and Other Theories

PW says this about Kit Frick’s forthcoming SEE ALL THE STARS (Margaret K. McElderry Books, August 2018. World English. French: Bayard.): “Taut and riveting, Frick’s psychological thriller will keep readers on the edge of their seats.”
Full Review: At 16, Ellory May thought she had everything figured out. Her squad—Ret, Bex, and Jenni—spent an almost perfect summer together, and things got even better after Ellory met Matthias and the two began to fall in love. Now 18, Ellory is returning to school for the first time after an incident the previous spring. Though no one outwardly blames Ellory for what happened, she has become a social outcast, friendless and brokenhearted. Debut novelist Frick divides her narrative into “then” and “now” chapters, slowly weaving together a story that highlights the sometimes claustrophobic nature of teen friendships. Frick nails Ret’s mean-girl manipulation of her circle of best buddies: “Ret Johnston was the sun. Hot, bright, at the center of our universe. That we revolved around her was simply a fact.” Equally impressive is how Frick slowly peels away the story’s truths, leaving the reader to question everything, including Ellory’s mental health. Taut and riveting, Frick’s psychological thriller will keep readers on the edge of their seats.—Publishers Weekly
Adele Griffin’s latest contemporary YA novel TELL ME NO LIES (Algonquin) published on June 12th to the following reviews:
“In a story containing as many secrets as main characters, Griffin delivers a universal message about openness and honesty.”—Publishers Weekly
“A contemplatively paced coming-of-age story . . . while fans of Stranger Things are likely to appreciate the 1980s cultural references, themes of being true to yourself and honest with your friends are timeless.”—Booklist
“A contemplatively paced coming-of-age story . . . while fans of Stranger Things are likely to appreciate the 1980s cultural references, themes of being true to yourself and honest with your friends are timeless.”—Booklist
“What’s most refreshing about Tell Me No Lies is its 80s Philly setting. Missing from the narrative are social media snafus; instead, three teens long to create genuine personal relationships . . . Soon hell breaks loose when secrets are kept and lies are told. This is not the 80's of John Hughes movies.”

Atheneum published Kallie George’s picture book THE DOLL HOSPITAL earlier this month to positive reviews:
“It's not only the patients, but the doctor and nurses who are dolls, too.... Collage and digital illustrations have a charming retro look with a palette that relies on red, green, yellow, and brown... the text is cumulative in a satisfying way... the instinct to care for others is important to nurture.”—Kirkus Reviews
“Dr. Pegs, with red pigtails and wide brown eyes, is planning a slow day at the doll hospital, organizing buttons. But that’s before the doorbell rings—one, two, three, four times.... The illustrations, made of cut paper, cloth, stuffing, ink, and digital techniques, give a three-dimensional look to the artwork and provide a symmetry of shape and color, primarily reds, greens, buffs, and browns. If a hospital visit can be fun, it’s this one.”—Booklist
“Written in a cumulative manner with bright, colorful digital illustrations rendered in a simple color palette, this is a sweet story that will capture the hearts of little ones with their own favorite dolls.”
