An important and deeply moving novel
John Green, New York Times bestselling and award-winning author of THE FAULT IN OUR STARS, on PIECING ME TOGETHER
Watson, with rhythm and style, somehow gets at … the life-changing power of voice and opportunity, all wrapped up in Jade
Jason Reynolds, author of LONG WAY DOWN, on PIECING ME TOGETHER
Timely and timeless
Jacqueline Woodson, National Book Award winning author of BROWN GIRL DREAMING, on PIECING ME TOGETHER
An adorable Middle Grade contemporary fiction novel about a young girl navigating her way through school, friendships and moving house. It was filled with fun adventures, fun surprises and lots of cute moments between Ryan Hart and her family and friends. She is a lovely character, and I love her confidence (even when it falters), her wit and her sense of adventure
NetGalley Reviewer
What I loved about this book is that it is about making the best of things... about being kind, and about how it's the way that you act towards people that makes you beautiful, and it's about how you can stay friends with people even when you no longer see them every day
