From the Blogs

Check out this post over at Cynthia Leitich Smith's blog for the latest on Varian Johnson and Jo Whittemore.

Confessions of a Bibliovore read and reviewed a number of Flux books in her 48-hour Book Challenge, including Into the Wildewood, The Shape of Water, Jump the Cracks, Band Geek Love, and Love (and Other Uses for Duct Tape). I particularly love her comment about Anne Spollen's wonderful The Shape of Water : "I kept reading this novel not because I wanted to find out what happened, but because I couldn't pull myself out of Magda's surreal inner life." We've heard a lot this from readers (one teen reader wrote on BN.com that "You sort of can't stop thinking about the girl in this book").
