Brett McCarthy: Work in Progress is a first for Maria. First novel, that is. Check out the Random House "It's A First" newsletter to learn what editor Nancy Hinkel thought when she read Brett for the first time! |
The Association of Booksellers for Children has named Brett one of its ABC New Voices Picks for Spring! You can order it on-line, or better yet, support a hometown business by asking your local independent bookstore to order Brett for you.
