Media Reviews
An original, brightly written tale. --Washington Post
An intriguing first novel. Well-defined characterizations, natural-sounding dialogue, and concrete imagery. --Publishers Weekly
Funny and touching at the same time. Wendy Mass has a winner in Mango's Mia! --Meg Cabot
From the moment I read a story by Wendy Maas I knew she was a writer to watch. I welcome her first book and am certain young readers will, too. --Judy Blume
I love it! Such an interesting, touching story about an issue I knew nothing about. And I want to adopt Zack and keep him forever. --Karen Cushman, author of the Newbery Medal winner The Midwife's Apprentice
Author Bio
Wendy Mass won the ALA Schneider Family Book Award for her first young readers' novel, A Mango-Shaped Space, about a girl with the fascinating condition synesthesia. In Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life, a boy embarks on a life-changing journey. InEvery Soul a Star, three very different kids are brought together by a solar eclipse; and in The Candymakers, four kids enter the contest of a lifetime. The Space Taxi series sends a boy and a talking cat on adventures to distant planets, and the Willow Falls books (beginning with 11 Birthdays) add a dash of magic into a small town. Wendy lives in New Jersey with her family.
