Reviews

""I think the twelve-year-old girl inside me held her breath all the way through Thorpe Moeckel's new novel True As True Can Be. As the story follows young Lucinda Mae's journey from childish innocence to awareness of her place in the world, lush, evocative descriptions of the Appalachian landscape add a stunning color and authenticity. This is a book I'll be passing along to the middle-grade readers in my life for years to come."" --Mary Stewart Atwell, author of Wild Girls ""Half tall tale, half affectionate examination of an extended mountain family, and dusted liberally with mountain magic, Thorpe Moeckel's story of Lucinda Mae and her Christmas Eve adventure is as true as true can be."" --Amanda Cockrell, author of What We Keep Is Not Always What Will Stay and former director of Hollins University's Graduate Program in Children's Literature
