Liar & Spy
Danny Says
When I read Stead’s writing, I feel like I know her. Have you ever felt that way about an author? No, she doesn’t need me publicizing her work, since she won a little award known as the “Newbery.” I have to confess, though, that one of the things that drew me to Rebecca Stead was how she claims to write for “children, teenagers and open-minded adults.” Bravo! Stead’s books are a hit with middle school students, and parents should treat themselves to a peek.
