Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“The author effortlessly guides readers through this bizarre moment in American history.”  School Library Journal
“Schanzer's appealing storyteller's style will draw readers into this strangest of episodes in American history and keep them riveted. She deftly manages a large cast of characters and structures her narrative just as she should: straightforwardly and chronologically, leaving readers to draw their own conclusions or make broader comparisons.” Children’s Literature
