Editorial Reviews

"Brave New Girl is just a squiggly line drawing, but page after page she became someone I cared about and someone I rooted for. The drawings have the sparseness of Shel Silverstein and the lush wild wonderment of Maurice Sendak. I love the seeming simplicity of Lou Hamilton’s drawings, but how clearly the complex personality of Brave New Girl is evoked. You can see BNG’s courage in her determined little legs, the hopefulness in the stretch of her arms. You can feel how hard she’s trying. But she also has a sense of humor, a sense of life’s kooky absurdity and a sense of awe too. She has a voice.

This is a book that I’d want to give to my best friends. Because they’ll get it. They’ll see themselves in it. They’ll laugh and pause and nod and say AHA! They’ll know exactly what BNG means..." — Sandy Gingras, bestselling author and illustrator
