The Queen of Everything Wild Roses The Nature of Jade The Fortunes of Indigo Skye A Book Sense Pick A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year An International Reading Association Children’s Book Award Notable A New York Public Library Book for the Teen Age.“Caletti fills the pages with wonderful images, sharp dialogue, and memorable characters.” Her smart writing packs keen observations on love, boys, and life in general.” Caletti has the gift of voice and tells her story with humor, insight, and compassion.” Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books This is a stylish and perceptive account of a young woman’s developing perceptions of human frailty and human strength.”

Her portrait of Ruby, aware of her own weakness even as she succumbs to it and hurts those she loves most, is delicate and authentic, conveying a sensitive understanding of character and of our ability to surprise ourselves in ways good as well as bad. “Caletti explores the conflicting, complicated impulses of the human heart with polish and penetration. School Library Journal, starred review “Caletti writes a compelling, multigenerational story about teens and parents who simultaneously weather heartbreak and find new self-worth, enriching the telling with the Northwest setting, folksy wisdom, and Ruby’s strong, sure voice.”
