Just wanted to let everyone know that an interview with yours truly is currently up at the Teens Read Too Blog, talking about my new book Split and things like cleaning my basement.
Teens Read Too, btw, is a great site covering the gamut of the Teen/YA reading world. Drop by and leave a comment.
Meanwhile, The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (BCCB) gave Split a nice review, saying in part:
"The fact that the Wades aren't integrated, healed, or thrown back a year to when this all began is deeply satisfying, especially as readers will likely find both of them compelling protagonists who deserve their wildly divergent, dreamed-about happy endings.”
I’m particularly pleased with that bit, since it hits my intentions for the book squarely on the head. I’m likewise happy to say the BookSpot blog also got the idea, saying in part, “I enjoyed that the two characters (two Wades) were so different but it was obvious that they had both started at the same place, too. They weren't so, so different that it was unbelievable that they'd just made different choices but not similar enough that you couldn't understand how simple choice could change your life.”
It’s always nice to be understood! Pax.
