Kirkus calls FRANCES AND THE MONSTER “remarkably original”
Frances and the Monster has received its very first trade review!
I’m excited to report that notoriously hard-to-please Kirkus Reviews had wonderful things to to say about my debut Middle Grade adventure, including this jam-packed blurb right here:
It’s a huge thrill to see such glowing praise from one of the most respected (and occasionally feared!) literary review publications out there. Here’s hoping this is only the first of many great reviews for Frances!
Frances and the Monster comes to life August 23 from HarperCollins in the US and September 22 in the UK from Harper360.

“[Frances’s] memorable adventure, with strong echoes of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, plays out against a colorful background as she confronts who she is in a truly shocking finale.
A fast-paced and remarkably original tale.”
