Also, the very first blog review went live over the weekend, at TheArtofNotGettingPublished. (I'm so often so impressed with the intelligence and thoughtfulness of blog reviews; this one is fantastic. If you're a fan of well-written reviews, be sure to follow Susan at her blog.)
Speaking of lovely reviews, on Goodreads, Darlene Beck-Jacobson (who is part of the
blog tour) had this to say:
“Auggie's
voice is as original as the sculptures she and Gus create, shining and
radiating with love for the people and things in her world. Fresh prose
sparkles and lights up each page. This book makes me want to stand up for
injustice, embrace creativity and make something new from something old. This
book should be on every middle-grade child's reading list.”
I love that Darlene mentioned Auggie's voice. To hear more of that voice yourself, check out the following video:

ReplyDeleteThanks, Darlene!
