Booklist Reviews YOUNG JUNIUS
So last time out, with Jack Wakes Up, I only got a single trade review--Publishers Weekly. Now, Booklist follows the superlative review of YOUNG JUNIUS in Publishers Weekly (see post) with one of their own.
There's ups and downs here, "Big Pickup" not a great name?? But this one comes firmly down on the good side of things. Here's how my agent, Stacia Decker, truncated the news:
"Harwood's cutaway view of a single bloody day in a housing project is an impressive feat . . . Harwood's empathy runs deeply indeed." -- Booklist on YOUNG JUNIUS
For the full review, you can see it on the YJ Amazon page for the book or... read on after the break...
