if it’s too difficult for grown-ups, write for children

Some more Love for Band Geek!

A five-star review over at Teens Read Too for Band Geek Love by Josie Bloss, as well as a very nice print review in the July issue of KLIATT, which reads, in part:

Ellie is obsessive, high-strung, and sometimes rather horrible. She’s touchy and domineering, and cares too much about what people think about her. Somehow, though, her behaivor and attitude come off as refreshingly real and honest. Ellie is indecisive and makes mistakes, just like many teenagers. Her strong personality is nicely offset by Conner’s kindness, and their relationship, with all its twists and turns, is interesting to watch unfold. The unusual setting of marching band, a microcosm of high school not often seen in YA novels, helps this stand out.

I’m so thrilled for Josie, and really looking forward to reading the sequel, Band Geeked Out, which will be available next summer.
