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:
