Welcome!

What's new:

Jump the Cracks made the list of Books Worth Knowing at the annual conference of the Illinois Library Association on Sept. 23-26, 2008. It was a list of "the best and most noteworthy children's and YA books of 2008." Thanks, ILA!



From the September 1st review of Jump the Cracks in School Library Journal:

"DeKeyser accurately describes the thought process that Victoria goes through...(and)... the author does not oversimplify the situation. Teens are sure to find this an interesting read."
