SLJ on Boy Toy

School Library Journal has given Boy Toy a starred review!

Reviewer Ginny Gustin says that older teens will find the book "fascinating, distressing, and worthy of their attention."

This review means a lot to me. See, there's already been some resistance to putting the book in school libraries due to its content and language. So I'm curious to see if a starred review from this particular publication will have any impact, perhaps helping some school librarians on the fence make up their minds.

The complete review is on the review page.

I can't believe ...

... there is resistence to putting this book in any library, school or otherwise. Barry, I was completely blown away by BOY TOY (Carlie loaned me her ARC) - I honestly loved everything about it. I am not being very articulate in my gushing, but believe me when I say I've been talking this book up to everyone, and I'll do a blog post later that's much more coherent.

Contrats on all of your successes!
