... was thinking about the town itself—cohesive, grounded, charming. I was thinking about that marvelous independent, Aaron's Books, which had engineered its first Kid's Lit festival and invited me to take part.

Rating: 2.5 / 5 Reviewer: Garth Paulson Kid Sister’s long delayed, once highly anticipated debut album Ultraviolet, is perfectly fine provided you don’t have to pay any attention to it.

... stress on a character who doesn't really show up till at least the half-way point. Kind of like The Third Man. This new title is more direct. -Comes perilously close to teen-lit, kid-lit, or even one of those earnestly graphic Wally Lamb books like She's Come Undone. Not really a market I'm gunning for.
