Book SynopsisTrade Review"One of those rare books you can’t put down. Teens looking for a character-driven novel with a touch of mystery can’t do better than this." — Booklist (starred review) Praise for Questions I Want to Ask You: “A well-rounded, much-needed portrait of a boy with self-image issues and a narrow mindset who expands his viewpoint and prepares for an uncertain future.” — Kirkus Reviews “Falkoff’s coming-of-age story leaves the reader feeling proud of Pack’s personal evolution and ends in a place that truly feels like a new beginning.” — Booklist “Many teens will identify with Pack’s desire for things to stay as they are even as they change around him. The mystery is quiet but intriguing, leading to a satisfying conclusion that is not perfect but hopeful. The highlight here is Pack’s personal growth and self-discovery. Give this to readers with a taste for intrigue and quiet, character-driven stories.” — Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA) Praise for Playlist for the Dead: “Falkoff treats a difficult topic with delicacy and care.” — Publishers Weekly “Realistic and well-written.” — School Library Journal “A nice premise with some truly powerful moments.” — Kirkus Reviews “An absorbing and sensitive read.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books Praise for Pushing Perfect: “Twists and turns abound. Reminiscent of Lois Duncan with its methodical uncovering of clues and multiple red herrings, this mystery will keep readers turning the pages.“ — School Library Journal “Recommended for teens who enjoy mysteries in the form of timely, realistic fiction.” — Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
