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.
You can read the full review here.

“[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.”

Starred review for FRANCES!
Check out the latest issue of Publisher's Weekly for a STARRED review for Frances and the Monster!
I'm so glad the reviewer connected with the story and I'm beyond thrilled to receive such a glowing review.
Here's what they had to say:
"Bursting with wry humor…Tuma’s…idiosyncratic, utterly original tale moves at breakneck speed through a richly imagined landscape, accumulating vividly rendered characters and settings…while injecting considered discussions of modern themes such as gender roles and privilege."
Would it be tacky to print "Idiosyncratic, utterly original" on a t-shirt and wear it around my house? Probably.
Frances and the Monster roars to life in just TWO WEEKS but it's not too late to enter to win a copy through our goodreads giveaway.
And remember that the very best way to support a debut author is to preorder their book. Here are a few links to make that as easy as possible:
Order from your local independent bookstore through Indiebound
Order from Barnes & Noble
Order from Amazon
