Betsy Wickwire gets ‘Savvy’.

Lovely review of dear old Betsy Wickwire’s Dirty Secret today. I especially liked this part:

“Grant has a master’s touch at capturing the teen years, both their hilarity and heartache, and you’ll find yourself cheering for Betsy on her unusual journey of healing and self-discovery.”

Read the rest of the article to find out about other great YA novels like Such Wicked Intent by Kenneth Oppel and The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater.

Here’s the article in its entirety: “Savvy Characters Will Leave an Impression.”

I am an author of many Young Adult novels including Betsy Wickwire's Dirty Secret, Pigboy, Quid pro Quo, Dead-End Job and 2011 Red Maple Winner, Not Suitable for Family Viewing. Most of my books are funny and/or scary mysteries. I also write high-low quick reads for reluctant readers. Quid pro Quo won the Arthur Ellis Award for Best Juvenile Crime novel and was also nominated for the Edgar Allan Poe Award. Betsy Wickwire is up for a 2012 Snow Willow Award. Keep your fingers crossed for her!
