BOOK REVIEWS

 

"This book is a bright light in the Middle Grade landscape and can even be used as a tool to help children cope with their own anxiety. Loophole is age appropriate, educationally manageable in vocabulary and word count, and will certainly make a great addition to a home or school library."

~Stephanie Henson, author of Share Faire Famous

​

"Rebecca Weber's Loophole delivers a beautiful, complicated depiction of emotional depth and resilience. Maybelline's emotions speak volumes, though she doesn’t speak at all. Weber handles each emotion, but especially anxiety, with authenticity and complexity, carefully describing the real physical and mental repercussions of deep feeling."

~Catherine Arguelles, author of Flip Turns

 

“The Painter's Butterfly is a gorgeous coming-of-age adventure steeped in magical realism. The prose is poetic and lyrical, but written in a way that is easy to understand for a pre-teen audience. The whole book fills the reader with a sense of the warm fuzzies, and the gentle story is masterfully told through the characters' slowly revealed pasts. It is truly a story of hurt and comfort, with a touch of magic and a sense of belonging. It's the perfect book to curl up with by a warm fire and get lost in for a while.”

~Sarah McKnight, author of Life Support
