My little girl is devouring #SheilaOConnor‘s latest middle grade novel. So happy she joined our #MFA program‘s faculty, so I could find another great #strongfemaleprotagonist for my Kiddo.
AmberWB This sounds so good!!! Wrapping up the Viet Nam war with my students right now and in the mood to read something art in that time period! 7y
sarahjane1077 This is an epistolary novel, and the voices of the characters are just so distinct and real. The main character (Reenie) is spunky and precocious in only the best ways, and O‘Connor manages to talk about difficult things like the war and the draft without talking down to her readers. I‘m definitely reading the whole thing when Kiddo is done. Got to hear O‘Connor give a reading from it, and I was instantly hooked (and charmed.) 7y
