Fresh and wonderfully readable . . . perfect for parents eager to
cultivate their kids' fantasy lives and foster a passion for
literature.--Michelle Green, People
"The implications of this small book are quite large. Parents will
want to read it, as will writers, publishers and
educators."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
"I loved this book. Feinberg is a brave woman to challenge every
shibboleth of the schools of education."--Diane Ravitch, author of
The Language Police
"Welcome to Lizard Motel turns out to be more than a diatribe
against the dark subject matter of YA problem novels . . . Only a
reader as attuned to realism as Feinberg could have puzzled out so
nuanced a defense of imagination in children's lives."--Laura
Miller, New York Times Book Review
"When we place the steady diet of 'problem' novels in the context
of the hours children spend being electronically bombarded by
graphic, unremitting trauma, Feinberg's concerns . . . become not
just comprehensible, but urgent."--Susan Linn, Boston Globe
