Okay, so it was last month, but I just noticed that my latest YA novel, Split, was selected by ALAN (The Assembly on Literature for Adolescents) as a pick of the month. Their review, which you’ll have to scroll down a bit to see, said in part:
“Petrucha gives each Wade a strong voice and demeanor, but readers will question whether one is a dream and the other real. It is, however, fascinating for us to consider “what if …” and to see Wade’s parallel lives played out before us.”
Ms. Yingling, a great supporter of my work, gave Split a big thumb’s up. “The reason Petrucha's writing is so brilliant is that he tackles material that falls in the high school range philosophically, but is middle school appropriate.”
I also neglected to mention that during last week’s reading at the Essex Technical & Agricultural High School, listeners were particular excited about the upcoming Harry Potty and the Deathly Boring – apparently the early orders on this very satisfying satire are going great.
Last but never least, Ray Tate gave the latest Nancy Drew a nice review at Comics Bulletin. This is the second-to-last in the first series of graphic novels, and Nancy tangles with the old and the new, Edgar Allen Poe and a musical mystery.
Pax!
