UPLIFT was listed on The Nature Conservancy’s Cool Green Science blog as a recommended holiday book for 2024. “A great book,” they write, “is the best remedy for end-of-year exhaustion and a great way to ward off that particular family member you’re trying to avoid. Call it self-care through stories. Bibliotherapy, if you will.” Amen to that!

“Mann takes on the ambitious task of using a novel to see the world through animal eyes. (She) is up to the task, and has created a forest world rich in its details. She's found a way to transcent the typical anthropomorphizing of animals stories. . . Reading like part ancient myth and part experimental fiction, (Uplift) is a great read for a cold winter's night."
