Editorial Reviews

"I really enjoyed it. Edna in the Desert really captured the teenage voice and how they think they know everything. I definitely think more schools should have the opportunity to read it."

Melissa Mehling, Honors English Teacher, Carle Place High School, Carle Place, NY

Review of First Edition - Melissa Mehling

"I loved this realistic, funny-and-yet-equally-serious, pitch-perfect novel about a young teen with no distractions--other than herself. What Edna learns over her summer in the desert makes for one of my favorite books of the year."
