Book SynopsisTrade Review“[T]his quiet book reveals the capacity for good within the characters…and leaves readers with a sense of empathy and understanding about the importance of self-confidence.” —School Library Journal (starred review) “This tightly written chapter book has just the right amount of pathos for middle-grade readers.” —Kirkus Reviews “Van Leeuwen avoids a happy ending that would ring false with the novel’s unstinting realism, but Weezie’s newfound strength and her growing understanding of the murkiness of life and love make for a satisfying finish.” —Publishers Weekly “Readers drawn by Weezie’s matter-of-fact narrative will come away admiring her resilience and grit…” —Booklist

Amazon Publishing Benny Shark Goes to Friend School
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Benny Shark's antics will provide an interesting, if slightly on the nose, way to teach young children about classroom social expectations. A strong choice for most picture book collections." —School Library Journal "Readers who come on strong like Benny may take Reed's (Fireman Fred) light friendship lessons to heart, but it's the shark's bad behavior, captured in Montijo's (the Gum Girl series) bold and thickly outlined cartoons, that makes the biggest impact." —Publishers Weekly

Astra Publishing House Catching a Storyfish
Book SynopsisA Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year Keet knows the only good thing about moving away from her Alabama home is that she'll live near her beloved grandfather. When Keet starts school, it's even worse than she expected, as the kids tease her about her southern accent. Now Keet, who can "talk the whiskers off a catfish," doesn't want to open her mouth. Slowly, though, while fishing with her grandfather, she learns the art of listening. Gradually, she makes her first new friend. But just as she's beginning to settle in, her grandfather has a stroke, and even though he's still nearby, he suddenly feels ever-so-far-away. Keet is determined to reel him back to her by telling him stories; in the process she finds her voice and her grandfather again. This lyrical and deeply emotional novel-in-verse celebrates the power of story and of finding one's individual voice.Trade ReviewTwo Starred Reviews! * "Keet, a girl from Alabama, loves language and storytelling, but her family's move to Illinois makes her feel silenced... Harrington perfectly captures her character's growth by using all the tools poetry provides: artfully chosen words, thought-provoking metaphors, appropriate rhythm and pacing, and changing points of view... Harrington also includes various poetic forms and a postscript offering additional information about each of them: an unusual addition for a title of this format... Keet's is a simple and familiar-feeling story, but one that is understated, fully realized, deftly written, and utterly absorbing." --School Library Journal, starred review * "Poet and storyteller Harrington offers a verse novel about a girl named Katharen, nicknamed Keet... When Keet's family moves from Alabama... she silences her storytelling voice. She slowly befriends Allegra, a Spanish-speaking girl who lives in the neighborhood, with whom she bonds after telling Allegra where her cockatoo escaped... A gentle-spirited book about a black girl who almost gives up her gift but for love and friendship." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review "This lyrical novel in verse effortlessly weaves together multiple poetry forms to introduce readers to Katharen, called Keet, a young girl who loves to talk and spin stories... The poems effectively convey conflicting emotions; different styles (haiku, concrete, blues, etc.,) express moods and nuances without being distracting... This is a wonderful addition to the novel-in-verse canon, whether enjoyed individually, shared as a read-aloud, or used as a class text." --Booklist
