"Keeper" is a real keeper!

As the mother of a young teenage girl, I am so grateful to find a book like Holly Goldberg Sloan's "Keeper." It's hilariously funny, smart, lively, and a real page turner, too -- full of engaging characters and full of heart. There are not enough books out there like this one for young adult audiences. Keep writing books like "Keeper" -- we need them!
