"Anne of Green Gables travels around the world in 80 days and follows the Yellow Brick Road to find the Wizard of Menlo Park." "This is one of my ten-year-old daughter's "bedstand books." She keeps it by her bed, and I find her reading it over and over. When she accidentally left her hard copy at home when she went to her grandparents', we had to get her a soft copy for her tablet. She loves Constance! - Cathy Karas "A beautiful coming of age story that shows that although dark days loom over us all, a positive outlook on life can make even the worse situations feel better. The heroine, Constance Whittlesey, tells her story in the first person, bringing a storyteller's charm to the entire adventure." - Author Joseph Gatch "Lori Alden Holuta's debut novel is a delightful read that will appeal to teens and young adults as well as some not-so-young adults. The tone is light and witty-I found myself smiling often at a turn of phrase or laughing at a clever twist-and the themes are positive and uplifting." - Mark Nofsinger
