The Unbearable Book Club for Unsinkable Girls
Starred Review,Kirkus Reviews, March 1, 2012:“The characters, especially the four girls, sparkle…. Smart and insightful.”VOYA, April 2012:"Required summer reading never seemed so exciting before."The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, May 2012:"Schumacher, author of the compellingBlack Box, deftly allows elements ofThe Yellow Wallpaper,Frankenstein,The House on Mango Street, andThe Awakeningto infuse Adrienne’s thinking as she immerses herself in them and as her own story unfurls alongside them. The result is a story that explores the way books can and can’t inform lives, as Adrienne’s summer leads to some surprising, even tragic events; that makes this a natural for book-club discussion by reluctant and eager attendants alike."
