Having read so much fantastic young adult fiction from the states, I'm very excited at the prospect of 15 Days sharing shelf space with books by authors that have inspired me – Robert Cormier, Louis Sachar and John Green, to name just a few.
15 Days Without a Head has already received a warm reception from reviewers across the pond, for which I'm very grateful. Kirkus Reviews wrote:
"A … finely crafted debut that strikes a delicate balance between humor and pathos."
Here are a few of my other favourite write-ups:
Publishers' Weekly
Rather Be Reading
Lindie Dagenhart
Crunchings & Munchings: We eat YA!
I was also delighted to learn that 15 Days Without a Head has been selected by the Junior Library Guild. This is a tremendous seal of approval and will hopefully mean that the story will find its way to many more readers in the United States.
Finally, a huge thank you to everyone at Flux, especially Brian Farrey-Latz for inviting Laurence, Jay and Mina across the water. I am hugely grateful to Brian, Sandy, Bob, Lisa, Courtney and Mallory for all their hard work in making sure my book would become better travelled than I am!
