THE LATEST

So thrilled to have LUCY mentioned in Mary Quattlebaum's Hopping off History post on Pencil Tips Writing Workshop.

JadeLuckClub talks about LUCY in its list of favorite Chinese-American stories for children!

Sara Lewis Holmes' blog, Read, Write, Believe, was the first blog I ever started reading  - it's intelligent and thoughtful, just like Sara and her books.  So thrilled to be mentioned here!

No love like librarian love!  Thanks for the warm review, Sonderbooks!

Smithsonian BookDragon features Asian-Pacific American titles; glad to have mine included!

I had so much fun talking to Tracy Grant, editor of The Washington Post KidsPost!

Click here to check out my Bookcast with Sam Clay, the director of the Fairfax County Public Library.  This was such a thrill for me - I've had my library card with FCPL since I was in first grade and I volunteer with the library now!

Maybe it's in the genes?  Just like MotherReader, TeenReader has a sharp eye and a way with words.

Ms. Yingling reads an astonishing number of books, so I was thrilled when she said, "
After I finished reading this, I didn't want to read anything else, because I wanted to stay with Lucy for a little while!"

Five out of five stars from My Comfy Chair!


AROUND THE BLOGOSPHERE

I'm with AuthorsNow!  Check out my profile and find other great authors.

Laura Simeon, a school librarian at OWS and Vista Academy, had this to say about The Great Wall of Lucy Wu. 

Get your hunger on at Jama Kim Rattigan's review at Alphabet Soup.  Her visuals are amazing!

I'm in good company with Mitali Perkins and Ruta Sepetys at Edge Book Reviews.

Me and Judy Blume in the same sentence?  I'm in a swoon over my review at Abby the Librarian.

LUCY received a 'C' - for *CLEAN* from the Library of Clean Reads!

Kathy Gaglione at Hers for the Reading called Lucy "the every-girl," which is about one of the nicest things you can say, I think. 

Forget the Tiger Mother!  Pragmatic Mom praises LUCY as part of a set of books that "
depict Asian American kids in an authentic and honest way".

LOVE this review by a sixth-grader, printed in the Brattleboro Reformer.  If Chaya Holch writes this well NOW, I can't wait to see what comes out in a few years!

Reading in Color says "
Definitely one of my favorite debuts of the year, one of my favorites of the year, period."
