Bookseller praise for B, BOOK, AND ME by Kim Sagwa

“Brilliant, poignant, and heart wrenching, it’s with compelling honesty that Sagwa captures the complexities of youth. b, Book, and Me blends fantasy with reality to depict the unbearableness of existence and the uncertainty of the future. This a beautiful, tender little book.” —Cristina Rodriguez, Deep Vellum Books (Dallas, TX)

“b, Book, and Me uses the tumult of teenage thinking and feeling to tell a story that readers of every age will savor… It accomplishes more in its 144 pages than many novels double and triple its size.” —John Francisconi, Bank Square Books (Mystic, Connecticut)

“An amazing little novel from a young, exciting Korean voice…With writing that explodes with personality, dark wit, and a keen eye for emotion and character; b, Book, and Me perfectly captures the ache of growing up, the pain of change, and the desire to preserve in amber the simple pleasures of youth. I loved every page of this strange, beautiful treasure of a book.” —Caleb Masters, Bookmarks (Winston-Salem, NC)

“This book shows a great understanding and portrayal of teenage angst, following the issues many of us faced during our teen years. Whilst the background narrative of growing up in Korea is a strong story itself, the inner turmoil experienced when a friendship goes wrong is brutally honest, something that makes this book an uncomfortable read at times but also difficult to put down. I will be recommending this book to my older teenage readers.” —Elisha Lemke, Exeter Central Public Library
