Reviews
* "Violet's a bright, engaging biracial preteen. . . . Infused with humor, hope and cleareyed compassion--a fresh take on an old paradigm." -- Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW "Woods deftly raises complex issues of race and identity and leaves them open for discussion: whether race matters, what makes a family, how it feels to be different, and what it means to be biracial. 'To white people,' Violet thinks, 'I'm half black. To black people, I'm half white. . . . Is that what I am, a percentage?'" -- Publishers Weekly "Violet is a winning protagonist, full of questions and full of hope. She's believably complex. . . . Her self-conscious reflections enable readers to parse the symbolism behind her name and see how her experiences are helping her grow into a person who fits it--a sometimes shy, sometimes sparkly and strong person to whom many readers will relate." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books -- various SAINT LOUIS ARMSTRONG BEACH -- Now on 8 state award lists! * "The dialogue is strong, smooth, and natural. The food, music, and tempo of New Orleans all come to life. . . . Woods skillfully provides a sense of the growing tension as the storm approaches. The real-life events of Hurricane Katrina . . . are integrated smoothly into the story. While the tragedy of the event is not glossed over, the overall theme is one of hope."-- SLJ , starred review * "Provides a vivid description of what life was like in pre-Katrina New Orleans, and how quickly peoples' lives were shattered. The characters are well-developed, and readers truly will care about their fates."-- LMC , starred review "Spare, moving novel. . . . The authentic New Orleans setting works as a powerful character, adding an extra dimension to this compelling Katrina story."-- The Horn Book * "Gripping addition to the growing body of fiction portraying Katrina's profound effect on children and families. . . . Woods' marvelous characterizations of Saint and Miz Moran more than stand up to the vivid backdrop of the flooded, chaotic city. Shadow's credulity-straining heroics will please kids. A small gem that sparkles with hope, resilience and the Crescent City's unique, jazz-infused spirit."-- Kirkus Reviews , starred review, * "Violet's a bright, engaging biracial preteen. . . . Infused with humor, hope and cleareyed compassion-a fresh take on an old paradigm." - Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW "Woods deftly raises complex issues of race and identity and leaves them open for discussion: whether race matters, what makes a family, how it feels to be different, and what it means to be biracial.
