Reviews
Van Draanen continues to capture the souls of teenage girls, perfectly penning the hopes and fears of her protagonists. A compelling story of friendship and learning from tragedy. -SLJ Van Draanen's heartfelt telling captures the close bond of two lovable heroines. --Publishers Weekly Readers will cheer, then weep, as the unlikely trio of Ginny Rose, Peggy, and Lisette sets out to heal a broken family. The time and place are beautifully evoked, but it's the characters who power this story. -Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, Newbery Honor Winner for The War that Saved My Life and Fighting Words In this story, grit creates not a pearl but the indomitable Ginny Rose, a Dust Bowl Anne of Green Gables. I couldn't pull myself away. -Kirby Larson, author of Code Word Courage and Newbery Honor Winner for Hattie Big Sky A beautifully written historical novel about compassion, marginalization and inclusion and, above all, empathy and friendship. Sure to delight and inspire. -Francisco Jimenez, award winning author of The Circuit, Breaking Through, Reaching Out and Taking Hold The Peach Rebellion gets everything right. A compelling story of three fully realized girls who navigate friendships across boundaries and find common ground together. Not to be missed! -Deborah Hopkinson, author of How I Became a Spy, We Had to be Brave, and Sibert Honor winner for Titanic: Voices from the Disaster The Peach Rebellion is a warm, heart-felt hug of a story. Ginny Rose and Peggy captured my heart from the first pages as they wrestled with friendship, family, fixing old wrongs, and finding their place in 1940s California. -Rosalyn Eves, author of Beyond the Mapped Stars and the Blood Rose Rebellion trilogy Highlights bonds between unforgettable female characters. -Kirkus Reviews
