Media Reviews
Snap is a book about rubber bands and braids, green buckets and blue bicycles, fear and hope and death. Mostly though, it is a book about friendship. And doughnuts. If you read it, you will laugh and cry; and when you are done, you will find that you have the courage to 'be strong of heart.' There's not much more you ask of fiction than that.
Author Bio
Alison McGhee is the author of three critically acclaimed novels for adults and also a picture book, Countdown to Kindergarten, illustrated by Harry Bliss. She says, Recently I went through a rubber band pahase, in which I wore several on my wrist at all times and snapped them in an effort to retrain myself out a couple of bad habits. Sadly, the bad habbits remained - but happily, Snap was born . Alison McGhee lives in Minnesota.
