“Danette Haworth creates characters so real they stand out on the page. They tell a story of friendship on the cusp of adolescence so full of spunk and humor, I read more slowly as I approached the last page.”

—Audrey Couloumbis, author of Getting Near to Baby

“A coming-of-age tale that is as full of sass as its uniquely named protagonist. . . . Violet is a worthy ally for readers navigating their own stormy evolution.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Haworth takes on coming-of-age dilemmas with spunk, innocence, and a cast of believable, well-developed characters.” —SLJ

“Danette Haworth’s work is strikingly comparable to that of the great Judy Blume.” —Curledup.com
