Booklist gives WHEN I CAST YOUR SHADOW the starred review of my dreams! You’ve got to read it to believe it! (It’s the second star so far, after School Library Journal.) https://www.booklistonline.com/When-I-Cast-Your-Shadow-Sarah-Porter/pid=8891612

Hey! The TENTACLE AND WING cover just snuck out into the world, and it’s beautiful! This is my first Middle Grade book, due to be released in October by HMH.
I’m thrilled to find VASSA on Bustle’s list of new fantasy with empowering female leads, not least because it features books I regard with starry-eyed adoration, like Charlie Jane Anders’s ALL THE BIRDS IN THE SKY and N. K. Jemisin’s THE OBELISK GATE. https://www.bustle.com/p/13-new-empowering-fantasy-novels-starring-women-28731
At least, Kirkus was kind enough to say so. I’m delighted to report that my dearest Vassa Lisa Lowenstein made Kirkus’s list of the best books of the year! And in such charming company! https://www.kirkusreviews.com/issue/best-of-2016/section/teen/?page=5
