Editorial Reviews

Bernadette is an original—imaginative, organized, moody, but resourceful…Poet and literary critic Glickman’s first novel for children realistically captures elementary-school life with sympathy and humor.

— Kirkus Reviews

This curious girl is an engaging and quirky character who loves to ask “Why?” and investigate the world around her through science...This is a fun read with accessible language and appeal for early chapter-book readers.
