Beautifully Written

SCOUT is written with carefully chosen words to describe scene, character, and emotion. It is a book meant to be read aloud as much as in quiet, to hear the lyrical tone and voice. It was hard to put the book down because I was drawn into the characters and who they were. Beautifully written and full of heart.
A Winner!

The Kirkus and Booklist reviews are right on! The poetry in this book makes for a "fast read" and it "often sings." I found the story was at times heartwrenching but the ending is so uplifting. A winner.I will definitely share it with customers.
An Award-Winning Book

I love these characters, and the relationships between them. I grew up in a similar location, and the wonderful details of nature and the way "Scout" feels when she is in the woods was beautifully and amazingly captured by the author. I especially love the way the author deals with an overbearing and abusive father. An Award Winner in my book!
Simply a must read!

The poetry is great. The story is wonderful and bittersweet. Anyone who can't get into this book needs an emotional transplant. A great book for young and old alike.
