I'm moving my blog off my site, to a place where I can post more regularly, and enable commenting!

Author and blogger Sarah Sullivan recently interviewed me about my work on The Rock and the River. The interview will be posted tomorrow at Through the Tollbooth. Today, Sarah posted a fantastic preview piece about me, the book, and the historical context of 1968.

Please check it out!

I'm pleased to report that a new review was posted about The Rock and the River on Fuse #8 Blog on School Library Journal, in which kidlit blogger/reviewer Elizabeth Bird refers to the book as "A smart, sensible, deeply layered title." The in-depth review highlights the books strengths and uniqueness in the children's book market.
