With a Name like Love
Hilmo creates a family, a town and a mystery that readers will not soon forget...A story about the meaning of home, justice and love, beautifully told.  Kirkus Reviews, starred“Adult and child readers weary of the cynicism and edgy gloom that pervades so much of children’s literature can breathe easy here, as Reverend Everlasting Love (and indeed the entire Love family) live up to their name.” --BCCB “Hilmos’s first novel is a small gem of a book.” --Booklist, Starred Review “Debut-novelist Hilmo has the genre down pat…” --Horn Book Magazine “…[an] affecting mystery." --School Library Journal, Starred Review "Debut novelist Hilmo creates a few truly despicable villains to balance out the goodness of the Love family. Fans of Ruth White's books will find a similarly affectionate portrait of a close-knit family of modest means, struggling to do good in the world and right by each other. " --Publishers Weekly "A story about the meaning of home, justice and love, beautifully told." --Kirkus Starred “With a Name Like Loveis just the sort of book I adore: a couldn't-put-it-down mystery, richly drawn characters that grabbed me from the get-go, and a vivid small-town setting.  Two words for Tess Hilmo's charming and suspenseful debut novel: Love it!” –Barbara O’Connor, author ofThe Fantastic Secret of Owen Jester
