Review Praise for Me and Marvin Gardens: A Spring 2017 Kids Indie Next List selectionA Washington Post Best Book of the YearA New York Public Library Best Book for KidsA Chicago Public Library Best Book of the YearA Texas Bluebonnet Master List selection* "A provocative exploration of human action and interaction on both local and global levels, as well as the interplay between past, present, and future, Kings novel will leave readers pondering how we treat each other and the planet. " -- Publishers Weekly, starred review* "A smart, environmentally conscious underdog story with a lot of heart.... The characters are rewardingly complex. Through Obe, King asks the Big Questions alongside the smaller, more personal ones in a way that will likely have readers doing the same." -- The Horn Book Magazine, starred review* "A coming-of-age novel with a fully developed and authentic protagonist. An emotionally rich read for a wide audience, especially those interested in keeping the planet alive and well for future generations." -- School Library Journal, starred review"Mystical, fablelike... just right for a sensitive sixth-grader with a growing self- and world awareness trying to navigate the troubled waters of uncertain friendships and demeaning bullying. A finely wrought, magical coming-of-age tale with a convincing message." -- Kirkus Reviews"This is acclaimed YA author Kings first foray into middle-grade territory, and its no surprise that she adeptly handles issues like bullying, compromised friendship, complex family dynamics, and the tedium of homework... Drawing upon the tradition of Carl Hiaasens Hoot (2002), this eco-focused story will tug at readers consciences and heartstrings." -- Booklist Details ISBN1338680536 Pages 272 Audience Age 9-12 Publisher Scholastic US ISBN-13 9781338680539 Format Paperback Imprint Scholastic US Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States DEWEY FIC Audience Children / Juvenile Year 2024 Publication Date 2024-09-03 US Release Date 2024-09-03 Author A.
